I recomend to use Zotero to collection and organize your research:
Export your bibliography from Zotero using the Better Bibtex format and replace Bibliothek.bib:
https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex
Now you can drag and drop your cite keys from Zotero right into you latex doc.
If your text contains words composed of two words with a hyphen inbetween (like DJ-Setup), in rare cases the used hyphenation can cause doubled hyphen at the end of a line. Write DJ\-/Setup instead, to force a single hyphen before the line wrap.
