Then how about the below? Should work with both  and c:1
Always prints cis and ces not c#/cb, is this ok?
Be aware, it is not tested beyond the given example.

#(define-public (my-note-name->german-markup pitch lowercase?)
  (let* ((name (ly:pitch-notename pitch))
 (alt-semitones (inexact->exact (round (* (ly:pitch-alteration
pitch) 2
 (n-a (if (member (cons name alt-semitones) `((6 . -1) (6 . -2)))
  (cons 7 (+ 1 alt-semitones))
  (cons name alt-semitones)))
 (basic-list '("c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "a" "h" "b"))
 (list-to-use
   (if lowercase?
   basic-list
   (map string-upcase basic-list

(make-line-markup
 (list
  (string-append
   (list-ref list-to-use (car n-a))
   (if (or (equal? (car n-a) 2) (equal? (car n-a) 5))
   (list-ref '( "ses" "s" "" "is" "isis") (+ 2 (cdr n-a)))
   (list-ref '("eses" "es" "" "is" "isis") (+ 2 (cdr n-a)

\layout {
  \context {
\Score
chordNameFunction =
  #(lambda (in-pitches bass inversion context)
(if (= (length in-pitches) 1)
(my-note-name->german-markup (car in-pitches) #f)
(ignatzek-chord-names
  in-pitches bass inversion context)))
chordNoteNamer =
  #(lambda (pitch lowercase?)
  (my-note-name->german-markup pitch #f))
chordRootNamer =
  #(lambda (pitch lowercase?)
  (my-note-name->german-markup pitch #t))
  }
}

\new ChordNames \chordmode { cis:7 cis:m7 c:7/+c c:m7/+c  cis:1 }

These days I'd suggest  rather than c:1 .  A "true" accordion chord
entry mode would likely provide capitalized pitch names like C, Dis,
... for the bass notes.  But for standard \chordmode, this seems
easiest.

This is not helpful per se, but you'll probably find that the way
LilyPond's ChordName context places the chord names does not work well
for annotating a bass part (it's fine for piano conventions).  You'll
likely be better off using text scripts even though those don't
transpose well (or at all).  Of course assuming that you _are_ going to
produce a whole bass staff.

So accordion standard bass notation has more than one open problem at
the current point of time.

I've been skirting duties here by mostly playing arrangements for free
bass (like  which I should
probably attempt to make a final take of some of these days).

Which input-syntax do you prefer for entering single bass-notes?
Please give a compiling example even when it does not what you want.

Otherwise, how about:

\layout {
  \context {
\Score
chordNoteNamer = #note-name->markup
chordRootNamer =
  #(lambda (pitch lowercase?) (note-name->markup pitch #t))
  }
}

\new ChordNames \chordmode { c:7 c:m7 c:7/+c c:m7/+c  }
