Food grade calcium hydroxide or oxide will almost certainly be the least expensive option, assuming it is available in Germany.

I believe that is the common bulk one used, if pharmaceutical grade isn't.

I'm not a fan of a slurry, and its only ever useful if you know that saturated limewater replacing all evaporated water is not meeting demand.

IMO, there are better options. A very high pH two part can raise alk and pH without using a slurry.
