I would suggest you go as cold as you have the ability to. I am brewing something similar using dusseldorf alt yeast. I think other yeasts you could consider would be the steam beer yeast or koelsch yeast. I think both benefit from cold aging after primary fermentation is done.
For my Oktoberfest Ale, I am going to push my system down to 64* and use the Dusseldorf Alt yeast with an oktoberfest grain bill.

Depends on what strain you're using. White Labs site for German Ale yeast says 65.00-69.00*F and for German Ale II it says 65.00-70.00*F. Wyeast site for German Ale says 55 - 68*F. Fermentis site for K-97 says 59-68°F. So... anywhere between 65-68*F.
