In excel when columns or rows are selected and copied an insert option is available to insert the copied columns or rows elsewhere on the sheet.
Is there a way to do this in Calc?
When I copy a group of contiguous columns and go to insert the copied columns there is only the insert column option in the context menu which only creates a single new blank column.
@JohnSUN – please add your suggestion as an Answer instead of a Comment so that it can be marked as correct if it solves @taklecker’s question 
@qubit1 - The decision to which I referred in the comments, we are talking about moving the rows, not columns. Therefore, it is not a complete answer to this question.
@JohnSUN’s link to the short video is a great demonstration once the objective is to move/copy rows/colums at the end of table. ( I would like to know how to make such a movie. JohnSUN??? )
Moving/copying rows/columns in between rows/colums is a bit tricky and require preparation of space.
What I am explaining and showing for the example of copying colums is valid for rows and moving as well.
Start situation:
I want to copy colums B+C between columE+F
Preparing space:
Inserting of 2 columns to create space
Copy result can be achieved with copy & paste or drag &drop with ctrl key pressed
We can omitted step 2 - drag-and-drop selections with pressing Ctrl and Alt (both keys). @ROSt53 - I use just a small portion of the possibilities of this program - UVScreenCamera
@JohnSUN - I tried key combinations but missed the alt+ctrl. This is very good feature. If i am not completely wrong, EXCEL doesn’t have this one.
Thanks also for the hint with the camera. I need to test… but need some time…

Excel do it with context menu after drag by right button of mouse
see this extension- Wrap & insert toolbar
This extension for calc create a toolbar which has button for wrap text in selected cell(s), unwrap text in selected cell(s), insert copied row(s) or cell(s), insert copied column(s)or cell(s) and paste value
