Dear Neil, thanks for Your help. It worked now!
But if I want to have more space in the TimeSig for the Tempomark-Text, how can I do this? I understand now, why the followind didn't work:
TimeTextAn = {
  \override TimeSig.TextScript  #'extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 0)
  \override TimeSig.TextScript  #'infinite-spacing-height = ##t
}
I will see if it works, when I suistitute TimesSig with Score and TextScxript with MetronomeMark.

Two things:

- tempo marks aren't TextScripts; the object you're after is MetronomeMark.
- the MetronomeMark lives in the Score context; unless you move the
Metronome_mark_engraver and Staff_collecting_engraver to your TimeSig
context, overrides will still take place at the Score level:

\override Score.MetronomeMark #'extra-offset = #'(-1.6 . 0)

By the way, unless you're particularly attached to version 2.11.49,
you really should upgrade to the latest development version to take
advantage of Reinhold's improvements to \tempo; it's much more
convenient to use \tempo "meno mosso" 4=76 than relying on that LSR
Scheme hack.

Regards,
Neil
