  It does not work because the lengths of x and y differ.  Try
evaluating 0:0.896 at the command line.
  If you are just trying to set up the plotting region, you could do this:

par(mar=c(4,6,4,4))

plot(0, 0, type="n", xlab="Zeit [min]", ylab="Absorptionsmessung
     bei 600nm", main="Zellwandstabilität", xlim=c(0,60),
     ylim=c(0,0.896))
