There are also Germans who use Emacs not (only for TeX et. al.) but also for
programming... some Germans even try to program with elisp to make Emacs (even
;-) better suitable for programming tasks ;-), see
http://ecb.sourceforge.net/

I don`t think that a German Emacs newsgroup is necessary for users who use
Emacs for programming but for writing TeX/LaTeX it could indeed be helpful -
especially for all special aspects of German language (e.g. Umlaute äöüÄÖÜ
etc...) and how to deal best with them with TeX/Emacs
