I have read it, but there is no answer of my question. I know, that I can use "columns" instead of "columnset".

It's not that easy. Please carefully read the columns manual, linked from the above page. If you want to change between e.g. 2 and 3 columns, you can either define a columnset with 6 layout columns and put your text in spans of 3 or 2 of those layout columns or define two different columnsets like in the examples in chapter "Spanning and More". Principally you should be able to use the old columns mechanism and change the number of columns in-page, but I don't know if you can make it work reliably. Greetlings from Lake Constance!

If you want to stick to the columnsets and this is for this single page only, then you could place the spanning text in a \framedtext. The placefigure command must be place right after the \startcolumnset command. This you could place with \placefigure like this: \placefigure [btlr] [] {none} {\offset[y=-7cm]{\framedtext[width=\makeupwidth,offset=0pt,frame=off] {Zwar werden ...}}} With the offset you can move the text-box to the position you want it.

I wish the eliminination of the pagebreak after "\stopcolumnset". It is for me not of interest what contents the columns have. I wish the following: text text text < flow text text text text xxxxxx xxxxxx < /startcolumnset xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx < /stopcolumnset text text text < flow text text text text and all of that on the same page by using "columnset". Is it possible and if true, how is it possible.

You’re trying to solve your problem the wrong. You want according to your example two table side by side at the complete width of the page and the natural way to do is this is to insert a float which spans three columns, inside the float you can then place the two tables with a combination (or a table with two columns).
