OK, I finally managed to complete the test area map, it's uploaded here:
http://osm-topo.bplaced.net/download/topo-garmin.zip

Just the elevation coloring tiles and the .typ file for use in
QLandkarteGT (or mapsource if you know how to install a map) can be
downloaded here:
http://osm-topo.bplaced.net/download/topo-gelaende-qlandkarte.zip

Some pictures and a description in german can be found here:
http://osm-topo.bplaced.net

If someone is interested, I can also provide the source .osm-Files for
the elevation coloring plus the corresponding style file.

cheers,

Martin
