I and others have had good luck with several brands of such boards employing previous generations of Intel Atom CPUs, as borne out by the numbers posted to the latency-test results table on the Wiki. I quite like my ASUS AT5NM10-I board (Intel D510) and my older Intel D945GCLF2 board (Atom 330). Is the supply of these or similar out-of-production boards completely exhausted in Germany? I don't have one but there are several entries in that table reporting good numbers for the Gigabyte E350N board (AMD E350D/A45). Both newegg.com and tigerdirect.com show this board in stock. Perhaps it's available in Germany too? I measured lousy numbers on the seemingly equivalent Biostar A68I-E350 Deluxe so pay attention to board maker as well as CPU model. One needn't fixate on the Atom CPU. In previous discussions of a similar nature it has been argued that there are non-Atom CPUs and separate motherboards, some of them small form-factor, available at very competitive prices. I don't have the data at hand but I can search the email archive if no one else pipes up. Good hunting.
