A quick and dirty thing that I do when I don't feel like typing the
real thing is:

        textstrophea = \lyrics { "1. Es"

You can try the following and see if you like it better:

    textstrophea = \lyrics {
        \property LyricsVoice . StanzaNumber \override #'visibility-lambda = 
#all-visible
\property LyricsVoice . stz = "1."
Es
\property LyricsVoice . StanzaNumber \revert #'visibility-lambda


In your case, it might not make much difference.  I have to use it
because I have an incipit showing the range of the part and the
original first note, which shouldn't have lyrics at all.
