If it's affordable, something I would suggest doing is to make image copy (i.e., using dd or dd_rescue) to another external USB drive, just to rule out hardware issues. The Pass 1B/1C/1D errors, particularly if you are seeing the exact same pattern after running a full e2fsck -fy run, makes me suspicious that inode table blocks are getting written to the wrong location on disk --- and whether this is caused by the storage device failing in some strange way. Also, can you save the output of e2fsck to a file? Direct the output to a log file, so I can look at it. There are patterns of the "millions of entries of the same pattern" which you've elided which can be a hint. Also, can you disable the German translation to make it easier for me to investigate?
