Well, you could do worse than start with Tangerine Dream, who've been doing it since the sixties. Just do a websearch and there's plenty of info.

I'd suggest starting even with the electronic experimentation of Karlheinz Stockhausen and perhaps some mention of Can in there as an important band in German progressive popular/rock music. But since the original question was about a website, one could do worse than starting with the genre electronica at allmusic.com and researching the various bands there ...
