Note that the German support for LaTeX goes even one step further: The
command

  "|

(to be inserted between the two non-ligature characters) adds some
small horizontal space to avoid glyph collisions.

As mentioned by Urs, there is even a (semi)automatic solution called
`selnolig' which uses a dictionary of German words to find and handle
such non-ligatures properly (this is, you don't have to insert "| any
more).
