german keyboard question: @ symbol

I know this is probably a stupid question, but how do i type the @ symbol on my german keyboard? it's on the same key as the letter L but in the lower right hand corner... I just got a new macbook air and can't set it up, because my password involves the @ sign, and I can't figure out how to type it--or don't know if i've typed it, because the password is hidden... help!!

thanks!
