As far as I know, those snippet were not included in the LaTeX  
bundle. This is why I have included two snippets for them in my  
extension of the bundle (the small extension is at http:// 
www.governatori.net/TextMate/LaTeXExtension.tmbundle.zip)

The snippets for the two are

_{$1}$0

^{$1}$0

bound respectively to the key _ and ^ with scope

text.tex.latex string.other.math

I have no idea for the German keyboard.

All the best
