What you are attempting is not clear to me, at least.  It may help if
you can post a bit more of your solution.

Since you use xsl:apply-templates each time, why not just test that
sum($gesamt) <= 180?

I don't know if you expect the variable $gesamt to change, but it won't
be updated once assigned.

What sort of output are you producing?  XSL-FO?
