... I would be delighted if someone could help me with the current plants. I am pretty sure that someone has the necessary expertise here. I am just starting with a "flat rockery" in my garden in Scheidterberg, Germany. The list of purchases would be:
androsace carnea x pyrenaica
androsace cylindrica x hirtella
androsace laevigata "gothenburg"
androsace lanuginosa
androsace muscoidea "Breviscarpa"
androsace rigida
antennaria dioica "rosea"
arenaria alfacariensis
arenaria purpurascens
arenaria tetraquetra
asperula boissieri
asperula daphneola
asperula gussonei
dionysia "Tess"
dionysIa aretioides
draba mollissima
draba rigida imbricata
edraianthus pumilio
erysimum pulchellum
helichrysum milfordiae
helichrysum praecurrens
rhodanthemum hosmariense
... just a few of them are pictured below (not flowering I am afraid). Please comment with the corresponding names, if you recognise the plant. Thank you!

Very cute cushions, I would say:
pic 2 - Arenaria tetraquera
pic 4 - Arenaria alfacariensis
pic 3 - maybe a Draba (rigida?); have no idea about the first one
.
You can also try the elimination method and cross over the ones that are 'not' for sure: antennaria, androsace probably all, asperulas, edraianthus, erysimum, helichrysum.
Other opinions would be very welcome of course.

Pic 1 looks as if it could be Helichrysum milfordae

amzams 133329 looks like Dionysia aretioides. I don't know about in Germany but in Britain this and several others you have are better grown with winter protection from rain.

I would agree on Dionysia aretioides. 122815 also looks like a Dionysia, 122846 Androsace lanuginosa, 122846 possible Asperula gussonii
and 133354 could be Androsace carnea x pyrenaica or an Asperula. 122846 and 133354 look very similar so difficult to work out which is which.

amzamz, I understand your desire to label the plants but wouldn't be best to wait for them to flower? Some are very hard to ID properly only after the foliage.
2-4 looks like Asperula boissieri
3-4 probably Androsace (rigida)
4-3 probably Androsace (laevigata)

Helichrysum praecurrens may be a possibility for the last picture
