I think this is not a matter of engraving rules but you should follow
the composer. (If I was the composer I would prefer a version with a
full measure beginning with a rest in this case. But I’m not Albert
Becker.) I’ve seen both versions in different pieces from different
composers.

Also, your version 1 is wrong. Soprano and Tenor must have r4 r2; I’m
pretty sure that one never writes full measure rests in a partial measure.

Good catch, and actually the part of the question I forgot to ask... But I guess I like your assessment that the proper notation should primarily depend on the musical or "upbeat" character as you stated in your second mail:

The first beat of measures 6 and 40 is not the ending of the phrase
before, but the beginning of a new one (phrases end in 5 and 39). So
in my opinion this measure “Bleibe” doesn’t have an “upbeat
character”.


Thanks,
