already D.A.F. and Die ärzte are mentioned...
kind of not hitting the terms you wanted, but "Die Goldenen Zitronen" are some kind of intellectual prototype german Punkband. highly political/social criticism combined with lyrical twists and turns.

edit:

"Ton Steine Scherben"
!!!
How could I forget?
they cover almost anything you have mentioned, including gay love hymns everybody knows in germany. they started pretty trashy/extreme and kinda started to know their instruments better. Rio Reiser was their frontman, he also started a pretty succesful solo career afterwards. a lot of german punk classics, if not most of THE classics.
