How can I quickly change my keyboard layout between US and German?
setxkbmap does not apply here, as I only have an SSH shell.
Persistent changes via
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
dpkg-reconfigure console-data
are unwanted as well.
I suppose the solution is very simple, but I did not find it.

Try:
From a terminal, it does not make sense to run this over ssh as the keyboard you use over ssh is the local one and the ssh client sends the keys after they have already been interpreted according to your local keymap. And it won't even work if you try.
You can find all the available console keymaps in
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps.
