Has been mentioned here, too. German-language ATC transmissions are common but usually restricted to VFR operations, so don't be surprised to hear German at international airports.
One thing I'd like to know. What was the ATC language in former East Germany?
Edit:
Christiaan, one question. What is the problem with technical French? I have read technical French, German and English, maybe not to the detail you have. What is the disadvantage? I know translations can be difficult, but I don't see French being a disadvantage in the technical field.
