Try this one :
/* 1) the subSelect */
Criteria subSelectCrit = new Criteria();
subSelectCrit.addAlias("T2", VoravisPeer.TABLE_NAME); // (or simply 
"VORAVIS")
subSelectCrit.addSelectColumn("MAX(T2.SEND_SEQUENZ)");
subSelectCrit.add("T2.AUFT_ID", (Object)"T2.AUFT_ID = T1.AUFT_ID", 
Criteria.Custom);

/* 2) the "top" part of the request */
Criteria topPartCrit = new EnhancedCriteria();
topPartCrit.addAlias("T1", VoravisPeer.TABLE_NAME);
/*
Might be necessary if you want to restrict to the columns "vavi_id" & 
"sequenz"
topPartCrit.addSelectColumn("T1.VAVI_ID");
topPartCrit.addSelectColumn("T1.SEQUENZ")
*/
/* addIn : see (3) */
topPartCrit.addIn("T1.SEND_SEQUENZ", subSelectCrit);
topPartCrit.add("T1.AUFT_ID", new Integer(#your_value#)));

3) Requirement :
A method "Criteria.addIn(String column, String Criteria)", but obviously 
you already have it.

There might be some flaws concerning the number of columns you want to 
get (all or only vavi_id & sequenz), and the fact that you might want 
the Peer Objects associated with the results (that is using 
VoravisPeer.doSelect(topPartCrit)) or just the records 
(VoravisPeer.doSelectVillageRecords(topParCrit)).
But the subquery problem should be ok.
