That one is kind of special, because it generates an u with lowered ",
so that one is not high ascii.

Lucky you that we can have encoding specific language specifics; add to
lang-ger.tex:
\startencoding[ec]
\startlanguagespecifics[de]%
\installcompoundcharacter "a {\"a}
\installcompoundcharacter "e {\"e}
\installcompoundcharacter "i {\"\i}
\installcompoundcharacter "o {\"o}
\installcompoundcharacter "u {\"u}
\installcompoundcharacter "A {\"A}
\installcompoundcharacter "E {\"E}
\installcompoundcharacter "I {\"I}
\installcompoundcharacter "O {\"O}
\installcompoundcharacter "U {\"U}
\stoplanguagespecifics
\stopencoding
This solves your problem and gives you hyphenation even in
gr"u"se, groetjes uit Hasselt (nl),
Hans
