I'm trying to explain the bigger function a bit although it's only
called in 2% of the cases.

The query (1) with some values gives:

         von         | dynmenge 
---------------------+----------
 2000-01-01 08:00:00 |        4
 2000-06-06 00:00:00 |        6
 2000-07-07 00:00:00 |       -6
 2000-07-16 08:00:00 |        7
 2000-08-16 16:00:00 |       -7
 2000-09-01 00:00:00 |        8
 2000-11-01 00:00:00 |       -8
 2001-01-01 00:00:00 |       -4

What we actually do with the WHERE bel1.von <= bel2.von trick is
calculate the sum over dynmenge over the first i rows where i \in (1..n)
A positive dynmenge signifies that x items of a ressource are given
away, a negative value that it is returned. This gives us

         von         | dynmenge | given_away
---------------------+----------+------------
 2000-01-01 08:00:00 |        4 | 4
 2000-06-06 00:00:00 |        6 | 10
 2000-07-07 00:00:00 |       -6 | 4
 2000-07-16 08:00:00 |        7 | 11
 2000-08-16 16:00:00 |       -7 | 4
 2000-09-01 00:00:00 |        8 | 12
 2000-11-01 00:00:00 |       -8 | 4
 2001-01-01 00:00:00 |       -4 | 0

num_of_ressources - max(given_away) gives us the number of ressources
available in the given time interval.

I hope this makes the function more clear.
