Hi,

same situation here (german with an american keyboard layout).
I just use `C-\' and toggle my way in and out of german-postfix.

Just one thing to be aware of: 

If you use german-postfix, using the `u' speedkey command on stars will
not work in orgmode files; I use this frequently, so being able to
quickly toggle is essential.
