Recently I have been discovering Guru Guru and Silberbart, who are on the heavier end of Kraut and are both pretty great (tho I suspect Guru kinda petered out in lame worldbeat jazzrock -- not heard anything beyond their 1973 LP's, and those are a step down from the first few.)
I think the first NEU! album is a classic, though to be honest I think they were just sort of repeating themselves on the next couple.
Can, Faust & Kraftwerk are among the all-time greats of 20th century music, period.
Some German groups I don't dig nearly as much are Tangerine Dream and Popul Vuh -- just a little too drifty for me. (But very good for "drift music.")
