Cheapest rates in germany for...

Fonic charges € 0.19 per international text. But of course you could get Fonic and use Betamax for texting, which would be slightly more expensive as they charge data in 100KB-increments (while the data price of € 0.24/MB is the same), so sending a text will generate data worth € 0.024, which is tenfold more than solomo.

If you want to keep everything simple, you could use a UK sim to send texts back to the UK. For example, 3UK would charge 11p (12c) per sms. Just don´t forget to disable call forwarding before you leave the UK!

This way, otelo and fonic look good. Fonic often offers starter packs which include 75/111/etc free-minutes to all german networks. This benefit might be an advantage for you, if it is available when you arrive in Germany.
