Thanks, that looks great. There is probably a chance to set
the 'german-postfix' as local variable in a tex buffer? I
tried something like

% german-postfix: t
% set-input-method: german-postfix
% input-method: german-postfix

I would be even better, if is connected to the 'german8'
dictionary :-)

Thanks!
