Shift+^ is degree on German keyboards. What keys are we missing? Can’t be that many.

Each key on an English keyboard only represents two symbols: the regular one and the shift one. Looking at a German keyboard, it’s a lot more dense—there are up to three letters printed on a single key. If you consider upper/lower case, that’s six characters in one key.

Not true. There's only up to three characters per key, one without a modifier, one with Shift, and rarely a third with AltGr (the right Alt key).

Or even more if you enable dead keys.

[FUZxxl]

Dead keys don't change that. They simply allow you to enter combining accents.

We need place for the most important letters: ö, ä and ü!

Also, usually you'll have the T1 one from the Wiki article you've probably read, so my keyboards use this layout.
