Whenever I open an RDP connection to a remote machine, that machine will be using the English (EN) keyboard layout and I have to constantly switch it back to German.
I use a customized keyboard layout on my workstation and this layout is not present on the remote machine. I assume this to be the cause of the issue.

Neno Loje mentions this issue (and the solution) in his blog.
In the following registry key:
Create a new DWORD value
IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout
and give it the value1
.That should be sufficient to solve your problem. However, there are some known problems with certain Windows versions, as discussed in these knowledgebase articles:
Windows XP
Windows Server 2003
In addition to that, Remko Weijnen explains on his blog how to even adjust the keyboard profile on the login page.
