Please tell me whether a Recovery-partition and its all contents will be created automatically when I install Mac OS X 10.7 on a fully formatted new hard drive?
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Yes, as long as it is an internal hard drive.
Okay. Thanks!
So, I get exactly the same (hidden) Recovery-partition on my Mac mini 2011 as from the store if I delete the hard drive current partitions scheme and create a new scheme with an only one (bootable) partition?

Usually, but there are some conditions that can prevent it. See "Some features of Mac OS X Lion are not supported for the disk (volume name)" appears during installation.

You can't do that, at least not from the Mini, while you're runing from it.
You can, however, remove and/or resize partitions in most cases. See #4 in Using Disk Utility.
