David, thanks for the hint, I will give it a try later.

I perfectly understand what you are trying with Aquamacs, but what it
lacks most is a simple switch in the options menu where you can click
on "go back to standard Emacs behaviour". Could you please introduce
this switch? I think it would be greatly appreciated by many users.

Sorry I forgot to say that I had already switched to "Option & German"
and "Right option is Meta", to no avail.

Where can I find emulate-mac-keyboard-mode-maps, please?

Thanks for helping.
