Look at this first part

tone(Alarm, 440);
delay(500);
noTone(Alarm);
delay(200);
tone(Alarm, 440);
delay(500);
noTone(Alarm);
delay(200);
tone(Alarm, 440);
delay(500);
noTone(Alarm);
delay(200);
tone(Alarm, 349);
delay(350);
noTone(Alarm);
delay(100);
tone(Alarm, 523);
delay(150);
noTone(Alarm);
delay(50);

This is the same 4 lines repeated over and over. Only the numbers change. Those numbers could be stored in arrays:

const int note[] = {440, 440, 440, 349, 523, ...};
const int duration[] = {500, 500, 500, 350, 150, ...};
const int pause[] = {200, 200, 200, 100, 50, ...};

Then, the loop can play them back:

if ((Alarmzeit==Zeit) && (Modus==0) && (digitalRead(LEDrot)==HIGH)) {
  int n = 0;
  while (digitalRead(LEDrot)==HIGH && n < sizeof(note)/sizeof(note[0])){
    tone(Alarm, note[n]);
    delay(duration[n]);
    noTone(Alarm);
    delay(pause[n]);
    n++;
  }
}

The loop stops when it has played all the notes or the button is pressed.
