Changing to the German Keyboard layout is an option, but not quite
convenient.

In Windows, I can type that by pressing Alt+<ASCII Code of the character>
..but in Linux I don't find such an option.

Does anybody know of a similar thing in Linux?

And yeah...what is "Alt Gr" ?

There is this (cute but not all that useful) xvkvd utility
which SuSE supplies (homepage http://homepage3.nifty.com/tsato )
It puts a little on-screen visual keyboard where you can hit
the compose key followed by other keys to type fairly useless stuff
like æ or ¼ and instantly call up a German Layout keyboard
where you can type those funky German ü § ß characters.

But its slow. I suppose If I absolutely had to have a ¼ symbol
its better than nothing.
