I am using a US keyboard layout, but I need German Umlaute as well. Under windows it was easy to map LWIN + ; to produce an ä, LWIN + ' to an ö.
I read about xbindkeys, xmodmap, ... but everywhere I just don't seem to get the combination right.
How would I do that in Linux/Ubuntu? Thank you so much for your help, it is the last thing keeping me from switching full time to Linux.

In current Ubuntu versions using Xorg,xkb(X keyboard extension) is used to configure key maps. It is, however, rather complicated.xbindkeys, while not primarily made for that purpose, is a bit easier to setup and you can't mess up your keyboard configuration with it. I would tryxbindkeysfirst; if the result is not satisfactory, tryxkb.

Thank you @danzel for helping! I tried askubuntu.com/questions/85850/… but it does not seem to work. Does that maybe have something to do with LWIN trying to open "search"?
