you could add the following lines to your init.el (or .emacs).
then M-x german-umlaut-mode toggles an appropriate minor mode.

;; ------------------ ;;
;; german-umlaut-mode ;;

(defvar german-umlaut-mode nil)
(make-variable-buffer-local 'german-umlaut-mode)

(defvar german-umlaut-map (make-sparse-keymap)
  "Keymap used for `german-umlaut-mode' commands.")

(defun german-umlaut-ae () (interactive) (insert "ä"))
(defun german-umlaut-Ae () (interactive) (insert "Ä"))
(defun german-umlaut-ue () (interactive) (insert "ü"))
(defun german-umlaut-Ue () (interactive) (insert "Ü"))
(defun german-umlaut-oe () (interactive) (insert "ö"))
(defun german-umlaut-Oe () (interactive) (insert "Ö"))
(defun german-umlaut-sz () (interactive) (insert "ß"))

(define-key german-umlaut-map "\M-s" 'german-umlaut-sz)
(define-key german-umlaut-map "\M-a" 'german-umlaut-ae)
(define-key german-umlaut-map "\M-A" 'german-umlaut-Ae)
(define-key german-umlaut-map "\M-u" 'german-umlaut-ue)

(define-key german-umlaut-map "\M-o" 'german-umlaut-oe)
(define-key german-umlaut-map "\M-O" 'german-umlaut-Oe)

(or (assq 'german-umlaut-mode minor-mode-map-alist)
    (setq minor-mode-map-alist
          (append minor-mode-map-alist
                  (list (cons 'german-umlaut-mode german-umlaut-map)))))

(defun german-umlaut-mode (&optional arg)
  "A minor mode with easy access to german umlauts and german sz."
  (interactive "P")
  (setq german-umlaut-mode
        (not (or (and (null arg) german-umlaut-mode)
                 (<= (prefix-numeric-value arg) 0)))))

(or (assq 'german-umlaut-mode minor-mode-alist)
              (setq minor-mode-alist
                    (cons '(german-umlaut-mode " ö") minor-mode-alist)))
