Ah just have found the missing piece: \unskip. So try:
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\newcounter{myquotecounter}
\renewcommand{\themyquotecounter}{(Quote \arabic{myquotecounter})}
\newenvironment{myquote}{\refstepcounter{myquotecounter}„\ignorespaces}{\unskip“~\themyquotecounter}
\begin{document}
Hallo
\begin{myquote}
Dumdideldei\label{eins}
\end{myquote}
This is some text
\begin{myquote}
Yesterday …\label{zwei}
\end{myquote}
And now come the citations:
The first quote was \ref{eins} and after that came \ref{zwei}.
\end{document}

Ok. I think I should write my own macro containing quote and a label option on
it. But I have never done that. Could you recommend a good tutorial?

Hi,
I'm writing a book in which I quote a significant number of ancient texts. I'm
using the \quote environment for this as usual. Now, I would like to have a
numbered label to refer back to these quotations along the book. So, I would
like the \quote environment to behave somehow like \figure so that the quote is
auto-numbered and labels located inside \quote get also an automatic number.
Does anybody how to do this?
I would design my own macros. First you have to define an environment
that will be used to display the quotations, i.e. in your document you
will write \begin{something} ... \end{something}. This is important
because it constitutes a group and the counter used for labeling must
be used inside a group. You also have to allocate a counter. When
entering the environment you have to increment the counter by
\refstepcounter. It is not sufficient to use \stepcounter, it only
increments the counter, but \refstepcounter also sets other internal
macros used by the \label-\ref-\pageref machinery. \label must appear
inside the environment but after \refstepcounter. You should also
define the way how tha couter value will be displayed. For instance,
the definitions may be:
\newcounter{something}
\newcommand*\thesomething{\arabic{something}}
If you need hierarchical numbering (starting from 1 in each chapter),
you have to define a few more macros.
I'm using memoir.
