??? Why did you put "\input feldbus" on the first line of feldbus.tex?  
This causes recursive inclusion of the file in itself, as shown by these 
lines:

Each parenthesis means TeX opens another file to include it in the 
current file.  It's quite obvious that, sooner or later, TeX will abort 
when it exceeds the maximum inclusion depth (15, in this case).

What exactly did you try to achive with that line?
