can ypu please try setxkbmap de or "setxkbmap de_CH" or "setxkbmap de"
and please report if you had success.
If it won't work, you can get at lease a german modmap from
http://www-usercgi.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree. There is a archive
with modmaps for various countries which redhat ships with their linux.
Maybe there is also a swiss one.
You may also export the modmap from your linux pc. call "xmodmap -pke".
You may have to remove some of the empty entries at the end.
