Can I travel to Germany with a Schengen entry ban for two years?

No, based on what you wrote you have an entry ban based on Article 6(1)(d) that applies to all Schengen countries (other than Sweden).

Can I transit through any Schengen country?

No, due the the ban, you cannot leave Sweden to transit or stay in other Schengen countries.

Article 6(5) would apply only for a case of: arriving in Copenhagen (or Oslo) from the United Kingdom and then transit through Denmark (or Norway) to reach Sweden (which issued the residence permit) when the person has no ban.


Article 6 Entry conditions for third-country nationals
1. For intended stays on the territory of the Member States of a duration of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period, which entails considering the 180-day period preceding each day of stay, the entry conditions for third-country nationals shall be the following:
...
(d) they are not persons for whom an alert has been issued in the SIS for the purposes of refusing entry;
...
5. By way of derogation from paragraph 1:
(a) third-country nationals who do not fulfil all the conditions laid down in paragraph 1 but who hold a residence permit or a longstay visa shall be authorised to enter the territory of the other Member States for transit purposes so that they may reach the territory of the Member State which issued the residence permit or the long-stay visa, unless their names are on the national list of alerts of the Member State whose external borders they are seeking to cross and the alert is accompanied by instructions to refuse entry or transit;

Can I transit through any Schengen country?

Yes, you can transit through any Schengen country to reach Sweden unless the individual country through which you want to transit has a specific alert prohibiting this. See article 6(5)(a) of the Schengen Borders Code:

third-country nationals who do not fulfil all the conditions laid down in paragraph 1 but who hold a residence permit or a long-stay visa shall be authorised to enter the territory of the other Member States for transit purposes so that they may reach the territory of the Member State which issued the residence permit or the long-stay visa, unless their names are on the national list of alerts of the Member State whose external borders they are seeking to cross and the alert is accompanied by instructions to refuse entry or transit;

By implication, you ought to be able to transit when leaving Sweden as well, but the code does not say this explicitly.
