If you are 100% sure about that, you don't need to wait for the sync process to finish.
Yes, I' am sure. Everything worked perfectly, thanks to all!
Good to see your problem solved

One last question: I now have several unconfirmed 0.00000001BTC-transactions in my multibit client. Does anybody know what this means?
Someone sent out numerous 1 satoshi payments for unknown purpose (very likely for advertising their site).
There are tons of threads on this, and here are just a few:

You might have to wait until it syncs anyway to use listunspent.
Even if I haven't done any transactions after my last full sync?

it seems that export or import keys is always risky 
Not risky at all, if you understand what you are doing.
As in OP's case, he hasn't lost a satoshi

Then it is extremely simple, just send all your bitcoin using qt to an address on your multibit wallet (either an imported one or a newly generated one).
But then I have to wait until the bitcoin-qt blockchain is fully downloaded, right?! To avoid that, I wanted to switch the client. ;-)

This should work. I've done it many times.
Is your wallet password protected? If so, you'll need to use walletpassphrase before using dumpprivkey.
Are you certain that you are copying the addresses from listunspent correctly?
Yes, the wallet is encrypted. I'll try it again. :-)
Thanks for your help!
Ok, I tried it but I am not able to dumpprivkey the change-addresses. Bitcoinqt always gives me an error.

btw: I already tried to use listaddressgroupings but I was unable to export the privkey for every address (only for my "real"-addresses but not for the change addresses)
I just had a few addresses so this should work for me. :-)
I will test it today and give a reply.
So first enter listunspent and then using dumpprivkey to get the keys for the addresses?!

Thanks! Unfortunately it does not work.
Is there a possibility to export the changed addresses via console?

Enter "listunspent" in the RPC console, it should give you all addresses with positive balance.
You can then export/import each private key one by one, but it will take lots of time and clicking if you have hundreds of change addresses.
If you have a backup of your wallet.dat they are still there
I'm in the same situation. Are some of my bitcoin is on my change addresses, or they are lost?
Thanks! Unfortunately it does not work.

There is no possibility to export the "keys" of the change addresses to import them to multibit?
You can try pywallet then.

There is no possibility to export the "keys" of the change addresses to import them to multibit? I do not feel comfortable to upload them to a 3rd party.

Try this then.
Upload your wallet.dat here (https://blockchain.info/wallet/import-wallet) and send all your bitcoin to an address on your new multibit wallet.
