Re: last() or preceding node if last() have empty text

rephrase that to say

I want to select the last node with non empty string value.

then it's easy:

select="DARBEDINGUNG[not(.='')][last()]"

Note that if all your DARBEDINGUNG nodes are siblings then adding using
// as in
//DARBEDINGUNG
is slowing down the search fro no reason.
