krautrock is a pretty vague term, so a lot of bands that are labelled under that umbrella sound completely different.
In terms of bands that I would personally recommend: Can, Popol Vuh, Cluster, Ash Ra Tempel/Manuel Gottsching/Ashra, Faust, Neu!, Amon Duul II
Most of those sound completely different from each other (but are all still great); Can and Faust are more "experimental", Popol Vuh is like spiritual ambient/new age, Amon Duul II has a lot of heavy psych, Cluster is more electronic, and so on.
If youre looking for similar bands to those Scorpions albums, I'd suggest something like Golem, Eloy, Agitation Free or maybe Embryo (theyre jazzier tho). They seem to be more of the space prog rock style.
woof. long post whoops.
