Hi Franz, In short: yes. Longitudes west of Greenwich have a negative sign same as latitudes on the southern hemisphere. That's the general convention/rule for at least WGS-84.
As far as I remember, QLandkarte GT is fairly tolerant concerning the way coordinates are written. If you need a reference format, just set a waypoint (e.g. on the OSM tile map) and check how QLandkarte GT writes the coordinate.
