Any German barrel will work - I'd suggest a 57 or 58mm so you still have some degree of tuning flexibility (I made a 59mm one for my Yamaha Oehler system as the 54 and 56mm stock ones are too short for me).

Harald Hueyng offers various makes and lengths of German barrels http://www.hueyng.de/shop/pi1175882895.htm?categoryId=103

But German mouthpieces generally have a close tip and long lay (Austrian ones even closer still!), and for that German sound I reckon it's best finding the right mouthpiece/reed combination. Even though you play on a B45, you should really go for a more resistant setup on German bore clarinets to get that thick sound.
