A rather good university but needs a pretty good level of German to fully benefit from it.
Teachers might have some understanding of language difficulties, but obviously a large amount of work is required.

I should have realised how disturbing 1000 people in a lecture hall can be when coming from a small, well-organised English university

Unless Cologne University hosts the experts of your field of study don't go there. It's way too big, too much bureaucracy is inhibiting your studies more than it helps. If it has to be Germany, go to the East or the South-West - to a small university.

Germany is a really cool country - but not for its universities! Make sure you can speak the language, they won't really pay any attention to if you can't. Also look for accomodation as early as possible, the housing situation is a catastrophe.
