I watched Fear Eats the Soul about a month ago, simply because I'm working through the 1001 Movies You Must See before You Die list and it's one of them, and I would never classify it as a horror. Like you say, it is 'a romantic drama concerning an unconventional relationship closing', but with commentary on the sociopolitical climate in Germany at the time. The British equivalent would be East is East (without the comedy) or maybe My Beautiful Launderette.
