How about marraige based green cards when residing outside the US? Any indication how long this takes and how complicated the process is? My wife and daughter are both US citizens and we live in Germany. I am a German citizen and have no type of visa in the US.

Each consulate handles the process a bit differently, but there is a bit of a hack called Direct Consular Filing where you can file the I-130 directly to the consulate if you can show urgency, and the easiest way to do so is to have the US citizen get a job or school offer requiring them to relocate back to US. If you can do that it speeds up the process.
