I'm a huge fan of the bikes from VSF Fahrradmanufaktur (but they're slightly pricey, but come with a 14-gear Speedhub.) Also, the last city bike is kind of nice as well.
Expedition (TX-1000) runs 2599€ list price (but you shouldn't have the pay the 19% sales tax included in the price)
TX-400 runs 2399€ (list price w/19% tax) and the 14-gear speedhub
8CHT city-bike which is kinda cool with the 8-gear Premium Nexus Hub (1199€ list with 19% tax)
technical data on the gearing possibilities:
