No, these two are not equivalent. The matches() solution passes the whole of
the text node that matches the regex to the called template; the
xsl:analyze-string solution only passes that part of the text node that
matches the regex.
(note that in both cases the match is unanchored, that is it will succeed if
any part of the text node matches)
(off-topic: is Jänner the Austrian equivalent of Januar?)

Subject: Re: AW: [xsl] struggling with <xsl:analyze-string>
Would be nice to know if matches() would get me the same result...
<xsl:for-each
select="part/section/par[(_at_)class='45_UeberschrPara' and
contains(text(), 'In-Kraft-Treten')]/following::text()">
<xsl:analyze-string select="." regex="\d{{1,2}}.+\d{{4}}">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:call-template name="get.date">
<xsl:with-param name="text"
select="." as="xs:string"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
</xsl:for-each>
should be equivalent to
<xsl:for-each
select="part/section/par[(_at_)class='45_UeberschrPara' and
contains(text(),
'In-Kraft-Treten')]/following::text()[matches(.,\d{1,2}.+\d{4})">
<xsl:call-template name="get.date">
<xsl:with-param name="text"
select="." as="xs:string"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:for-each>
(untested)
