Remapping the keyboard



I'm searching for a way to create my own keyboard layout. I need some german keys, but I also want the advatage from the english keyboard, which is really good for coding.
So I thought I might programm a third function for the keys.
- first function is the key itself
- second function is shift + key
- third function is alt or strg + key (if there are other possibilities I'll use them as well)
 
I know that it must be possible, because on the german keyboard ALT_R + Q produces @. I read some articles manly about xmodmap, but I'm only able to change the first and second function. So does anyone know a way how to program this?
 
The problem is with the events, I tried the events for a, shift + a and strg + a, they all give the keycode 38, the difference is in the state register, which is 0x10, 0x11 or 0x14. If it is possible it should also be system wide.
 
I'm gratefull for any help
