As long as it has the same typing feel and maybe a numpad

It's impossible to tell from a photo which switches the keyboard uses, but the 920-010458 part number is for the version with brown switches.
Maybe something like this?

I don't like the whole gamer aesthetic but it has switches that are similar but probably slightly better than on that logitech keyboard, german layout (I assume you care about that), and it's fullsize (I assume you prefer that over tenkeyless).
In general, if you want to look for a keyboard that feels similar to G715 in your price range, look for anything with kailh box brown or gateron brown switches. Cherry MX switches will also feel like that, but they will be out of your price range (purely because of the brand, quality is similar).
There's also a version with kailh box white switches, which I think feel similar but better since they use a different mechanism to provide tactility.

So budget 60eur, QWERTZ De Layout and preferably Fullsize, this limit it down to really just the low budget ones of the budget ones. I assume the logitech board had red switches
So you could try this from amazon
Alternatives in the 100eur range would be Keychron K2 (without numpad)

Or Keychron K4 (out of stock at the moment)
Overall i would recommend to spend more, especially when it is your worktool, but of course not my decision
Edit: looking at the other reply that the logitech had brown switches, you could get the Keychrons as variants with brown switches

The easiest/safest/best way is to remove a keycap, based on the layout i would suggest you just gentle pull on the ESC key and you should have the white keycap in your hand and then you can look at the switch, if it has a brown/red/blue "pin* where the keycap was sitting on (as far as i can tell its not sold with other variants) after this you just press the ESC key back onto the switch. Another option is that it should be printed on the box but it might be that the display board is in fact using different switches then what is below in the boxes as mostly the MediaMarkt employee who installed the display has no idea that they are different versions and might have mixed it. So easiest and safest, pull the ESC keycap off and look at the color. If any other colored pin feel free to let us know and we might be able to assist. Cheers
