One way to make it easier in Emacs is Electric Quote mode
(https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Quotation-Marks.html):
With (taken from
https://www.reddit.com/r/orgmode/comments/k73ihb/german_quotation_marks_in_orgmode/):
| (setq electric-quote-replace-double t
| electric-quote-chars '(8216 8217 8222 8220))
one can type "Test" and get „Test“.
(Personally, on Linux I use the Compose key (Compose, ",",
'"' and Compose, "<", '"’) for quotation marks as this works
everywhere, i. e. also in the shell, etc.)
