Thanks. So kind of "if LaTeX then English, else German".
(Be aware, that you'll need to change your habits when LaTeXing German
texts... ;)

If you ever need such special key-mappings outside of emacs, I recommend
xmodmap. For example, I use the following script for switching between
French and German:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/bin/bash

# change between french and german keyboard

DIR=~/.fvwm
FLAG=$DIR/french
FRENCH=$DIR/Xmodmap.french
GERMAN=$DIR/Xmodmap.german

if [ "$1" = german ] || [ -f $FLAG -a -z "$1" ]; then
        xmodmap $GERMAN
        rm -f $FLAG
else
        xmodmap $FRENCH
        touch $FLAG
fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
