German Keyboard (Where are the ä, ö and ü keys???)

It is great that the iPhone offers different keyboards and that the word corrections are adjusted accordingly, BUT where are the special characters such as ä, ö and ü??? I couldn't find them on the German keyboard. Any ideas?? Thanks.

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

That works even on the US keyboard.

It actually works with c, e, i, l, n, s, y and z keys too. The objective appears to be to give easy access to all language-specific accented characters from any keyboard where those character-variants are not on their selected keyboard's display. It certainly works well and is an 'in-line' way of providing easy-access to the facility without cluttering the display still further with more options that are seldom used by most people in most cases.
