Quick insertion of down quotation marks

Is there an easy way to input these quotation marks on Linux: „“ ?

On a Mac, there's a relatively easy compose shortcut, but I couldn't find a shortcut for Linux. There doesn't even seem to be a compose key combination, based on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GtkComposeTable

    You can use Compose", for „ and Compose"< for “.

    See How can I add a custom compose key sequence? for how to define your own compose sequences.

  2. It's easily available in some keyboard layouts, such as German:

    AltGr+V => „

    or French (alt.):

    AltGr+Shift+S => „

    If it's not present in the keyboard layout you are using, please see Florian's answer.
