For some technical reasons, I need to have Ubuntu 14.04 Server started just with WLAN.

That means, no Ethernet start up.

If I do so, it always takes some more time on the start up. I mean this "Waiting for 60 seconds ..." dialogue, if there is no Ethernet-cable plugged into the server.

Is there a possibility to suppress this dialogue and make Ubuntu start quicker?

I suggest you edit /etc/network/interfaces to not start eth0 automatically. For example:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

#auto eth0
eth0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.101
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1 8.8.8.8
wpa-ssid <your_network>
wpa-psk <your_secret_password>

By commenting out 'auto eth0', you tell the system to not start eth0 automatically.
