   You said the General Control panel, I think you mean in GSOS, under the   
   Apple Menu->Control Panels, then "General".  Maybe also do Ctrl-Apple-ESC, then   
   Control Panel, then Options?  I'm suspicious of the Display Language   
   and Keyboard Layout settings, they should both be German.  They should be the   
   same settings as the graphical control panels, but maybe something is wrong.   
      
   Does your IIgs remember your settings when powered off?  If not, it will   
   default to US keyboards each time.   
      
   My suggestion would be to clear the BRAM, and I forget how to do that,   
   but if you remove the battery, it will clear it.  Someone else will chime   
   in on how.
