I've 2 block-container inside my region-body. The first block-container is a table with n-rows inside. The 2nd block is a summaryblock and should reside always on the bottom of the page, if possible on the first page but only if there are
not too many rows inside the first block. How can i do that.

You can put the second block into a footnote and introduce an empty block after your first block with an empty footnote citation inline and your second block into the footnote body.

Remember (and I sound like a broken record here) ... don't get hung up on the names of the constructs. These are layout constructs you can use to achieve the desired layout regardless of the source of the information being laid out. Even though you aren't working with footnotes, your comment "should reside always on the bottom of the page" should bring to mind that the footnote construct is a construct that performs this particular kind of layout.

Of course the caveat in this case is that if you also have footnotes then I think you are out of luck.

I hope this helps.
