Dear Erich,
if I am not mistaken, one point has not yet been mentioned: you are working on a Mac and there are some arguments for using the same kind of keyboard shortcuts that work consistently for all Mac applications (with a German keyboard, and not only Umlaute). AFAIK, this is not trivial to implement if one wants to have a "peaceful co-existence" with certain Emacs functionality. However, David Reitter has spent a considerable amount of effort to get this just right: it works "out-of-the-box" with Aquamacs. I am currently using one of the nightly development builds (Emacs 94.0.92.3) and can only recommend it.
Warm regards,
Stefan
