use an appropriate input method. i prefer latin-9-prefix, which allows me
to type " followed by a/o/u/s to get ä/ö/ü/ß. but the relevant german
characters are covered by a couple of other input methods as well. C-h I
gives information about an input method.

if you set the variable default-input-method to your preferred input
method, you only need to type C-\ to toggle the input method on or off.

read the node "Input Methods" in the emacs manual for detailed info.
