As localectl set-locales "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" does not seem to work (there is a bug report that it is handled differently in that distribution), let’s do it the distribution way…
echo "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" > /etc/default/locale
apt update && apt upgrade
apt install console-data
On the configuration menu select “Don’t touch keymap”
dpkg-reconfigure console-data
Select “full list” and after that “pc / qwertz / German / Standard / latin1”
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
setupcon
If seems the changes necessary are applied by keyboard-configuration reconfiguration.
