This is the structure you need:

\version "2.16.2"

\score {
  \new ChoirStaff <<
    \new Staff {
      \relative c'' {
        \time 3/4
        fis2 fis4 
        <<
          { \voiceOne eis2 eis4 }
%    \\
          \new Voice {
            \voiceTwo 
            eis4( dis) eis
          }
        >>    
        \oneVoice
        fis2 fis4 
      }
      \addlyrics { a b c d e f }
    }
  >>
}

Don't use "\\" but rather just define a second voice.

BTW, 2.16.2 is now rather out of date.  There are
many improvements in 2.18.2, and even more in 
release 2.19.17, which includes improvements being
prepared for 2.20.
