BWS Germanlingua Köln

BWS Germanlingua Cologne operates from Hohenzollernring 88, 50672 Köln, in the Belgian Quarter, directly adjacent to the DeutschAkademie Cologne location on the same ring road.

Courses

The school runs Standard German courses at 20 lessons per week and Intensive courses at 25 lessons per week, both in groups with a maximum of 12 students and an average of approximately 7. Mini-Group courses of up to 6 participants are available from October through June only. A Combined course pairs group German lessons with individual tuition. Business German and English are also offered, alongside exam preparation for telc, Goethe-Institut and TestDaF certificates. All courses follow CEFR levels A1 to C2. The school closes from 21 December 2026 to 1 January 2027 and on German national holidays.

Location

Hohenzollernring 88 is a well-known commercial address in central Cologne, served by multiple tram and bus routes. The school is part of the BWS Germanlingua network that also includes campuses in Berlin and Munich, but the Cologne site operates as a standalone teaching location.

The standard and intensive formats differ in their weekly lesson load. A mini-group changes the number of people sharing classroom practice rather than simply adding more hours. The combined format lets a learner keep the group experience while devoting some time to individual needs, a useful distinction for someone choosing between several German programmes.
