Wandering aroung org-src.el, I stumbled on the following variable which you
(Thorsten) may find useful in your case:

,----
| org-edit-fixed-width-region-mode is a variable defined in `org-src.el'.
| Its value is artist-mode
| 
| Documentation:
| The mode that should be used to edit fixed-width regions.
| These are the regions where each line starts with a colon.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
