As nottheengineer pointed out, the umlauts being conjoined just doesn't feel right - your reasoning behind it makes total sense, it's just a little bit too wrong for my eyes.
I would instead personally prefer them misaligned/asymmetrical (ouch, i know) as that would make what they are clear (i would probably take a minute to adjust to that and imo that's not something that should be necessary for a typeface.
That nitpick aside, it does feel very well-rounded to look at, you did well!
I'm away from keyboard so can't really experiment with them now, so I'll try asymmetric form again, but make no promises :-)
Thanks for the kind words!
