You haven't given enough information to say why ypu are looping.
An input file would help. you would loop if there are any kapitel
elements within title elements, for example.

However note that <xsl:for-each select="//title">    is very costly, it
forces the sysem to search your entire document for all title elements.
If you know th etitle element is in a particular place then not using //
woyld be a big win. Also if you want to copy a branch of the input
exactly then copy-of is much simpler than the identity transform that
you use.

so..

<xsl:template match="kapitel">
			<p>
				<xsl:copy-of select="//title/node()"/>
			 </p>
</xsl:template>

might be what you want, but preferably with something other than //.
