Thank you for the link, but it does not solve the problem. I get the extender 
in the text, but the text then starts only at the third note.

I have broken down the file to less content to show the effect:

--------------------------------------------------------
\version "2.9.10" 

\header 
{
        title = "Erde singe"
        composer = "Satz: Max Eham 1975"
}
#(set-default-paper-size "a4" 'landscape)
#(set-global-staff-size 20)

global = {
  \time 3/4
  \key f \major
}

text = \lyricmode {Er -- de sin -- ge, daß __ es klin -- ge, }

sopran = {
        f'4( a') c''
        d'' c'' r4 
        f'4( g') a'
        bes'4 a' r4 
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff = "RightHand" 
    {
      \clef treble
      \global
      \new Voice = "one" {\voiceOne \sopran}
    }
    \context Lyrics = lyrics {\set alignAboveContext = #"RightHand" \lyricsto 
one \text}
  >>
}
--------------------------------------------------------

Now I get an error message during processing:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
GNU LilyPond 2.9.10
Processing `test1.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music...
test1.ly:16:55: warning: unterminated hyphen; removing
text = \lyricmode {Er -- de sin -- ge, daà __ es klin
[4]                                                    -- ge, }
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

and the text starts only on the third note of the first bar. 

What to do?

Best regards
