Thank you very much, Richard, for your kindly and detailed help!
First I uninstalled the aspell installed with MacPorts and tried to follow
your instructions.

First, install cocoAspell and make sure it's working properly with LyX

English language spellchecker. That's pretty straight forward.
At least to that point I came. I wouldn't call it "straight forward" but
the concentrated work of some hours, but anyway, the English language
spellchecker seems to work usably in my LyX, if I needed it.
I continued with installing and configuring the German language dictionary:
Do one thing and one thing only while running System Preferences as root.
Click on the Spelling preference pane that cocoAspell installed so it
finds,
compiles and configures your new dictionary. Quit System Preferences.
Reopen
it from the GUI. You should now be able to choose your new dictionary.
OK, so far.
Only: the crazy German "spellchecking" in LyX continued as yesterday.
So I give up. I'm going to uninstall CocoAspell as well and shall use LyX
without spellchecker. Sorry though!
Congratulation to you, for getting usable the Spanish dict. But
nevertheless I regard this complicated procedure as unreasonable and
unacceptable for a normal LyX user. I remain with the conclusion:
German language Aspell spellchecking in LyX on Mac-OSX is not practicable!
