German touring bikes tend to be more expedition style with butterfly bars and the good ones have all modern conveniences (Rohloff, Magura, SON etc). The only English style tourers from Germany are custom-built from small framebuilders.
Lots of UK models, Dawes, Ridgeback, Hewitt, Edinburgh Cycles/Revolution, SJS Cycles/Thorn, Claud Butler.
You can also get tourable cyclo-cross models, esp modern ones with disc brakes.
