Thanks, that did it. In case others are facing problems with external-graphic as well, here is what I learned:
1. Content-height and -width are ignored within fo:external-graphic (see bug no. 2867). 2. The image is automatically scaled to the WIDTH of its containing area. If the resulting height of the image doesn't fit, a) the image will be skipped (instead of tying to scale it to the available height!) or b) fop runs into an endless loop creating new pages (see bug no. 4262) depending on the containing area. 3. Someone used block-containers to fit an image to a given size. This didn't work for me. Instead the block-container remained blank.
