no \bibdata command, no \bibstyle command

Hi there,
well, if `00_Abschlussarbeit.tex' is your main file, run bibtex on 00_Abschlussarbeit.aux---that's where \bibdata and \bibstyle are put in. For convenience, you can omit the extension(s), so

pdflatex 00_Abschlussarbeit
bibtex 00_Abschlussarbeit
pdflatex 00_Abschlussarbeit
pdflatex 00 ...

how to properly define repeating layouts

Hi,
I'm not sure if you want the same `You can:' and `Vocabulary' statements, but a first attempt might look something like:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}% just a guess...
\usepackage{showframe}% just for demo
\newenvironment{stuffIIknow}{%
\providecommand*\switchtosndstuff ...

Full argument list for Sectioning Commands

You may wish to get yourself some basic introduction about LaTeX, be it in book form or online...
Having said that, each of those sectioning commands understand the same set of arguments. As a stand-in, I'm using \chapter here:
\chapter<*|[ m ]>{ t } , where the stuff between <> is optional ...

Date range split to two lines in section title

Maybe something like this?

\documentclass{book}
\newlength\drboxw
\newcommand*\rangedash{--}
\newcommand*\drbox[2][]{%
\settowidth\drboxw{\tiny\rangedash#2}%
\hfill\parbox[b]{\drboxw}{%

\ifx\relax#1\relax\else %only if optional arg is non-empty:

Dotfill in cases environment

You could use \settowidth to get the natural width of everything that's left of the tabularx environment. The tricky thing is the width of the opening brace, because the higher the brace becomes, the wider it will be. For compensation you now can use an optional argument, e.g., \begin{DotCases}[x\\x ...

Create table with variable content

You can split your project in as many files as you want, but I wouldn't make anything depending on that. Here's an idea using a TOC-like approach:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\newlength\activitywidth % the width for activity within the list of activities (LOA)
\newlength ...

Citation Issues

I doubt entry RN125 is the same as entry [125] in the bibliography, not even their years match.
To figure out what's going on you could try something like

\documentclass{article}
\bibliographystyle{unsrt}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\bibliography{name-of-your-bib-file}
\end{document}

Is there a way to "trace" a path and define a coordinate?

Hi Dan,

I tried
\coordinate[at end] (A) (0,0) arc(0:90:2);

well, \coordinate is basically a node without a size of its own, hence the arc will be put into nothing, so to speak.
For getting points along the arc (or whatever curve you have), you can use options like `at start', `near end', etc, or ...
