My reviewer wants me to add the key at the beginning. So I don't have much of a choice. After knowing, that the key to success is the .bst file, I tried different ones. Finally I found a natdin2.bst that has been used by a colleague of mine. This file needed only small adaptions, but the keys at the beginning worked from scratch. Thx.
