I got the above named error after changing an eqnarray envrmt to align envrmt. I was wondering if align does not work with doc class scrartcl, but the mwe of other users also seem to work like that. Also the error can't be in the formula, as in a sample formula like below the same problem occurs. Any ideas?
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsmath, amssymb, graphicx}
\usepackage{color}
\newcommand{\eq}{\begin{equation}} %Shortcuts für num. Einzelformel
\newcommand{\eeq}{\end{equation}}
\newcommand{\eqs}{\begin{align}} %Shortcuts für ausgerichtete num. Formelsysteme
\newcommand{\eeqs}{\end{align}}
