Hi, Hartmut.

It looks like there are a few options for importing your bibliography into
Zotero here:
https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/importing_formatted_bibliographies

The one that seems like it'd be easiest to work with is AnyStyle (
https://anystyle.io/ ), which will parse plain-text bibliographies and
export BibTex, which can then be imported into Zotero. (It's also
machine-learning-based, so it will use any corrections you make as training
data to improve the parser.)

I hope that helps you...please let us know how it goes.
