The German states decided to take English as 1st language and French as second. On Gymnasien it is possible to take Latin as second and French as third or the other way round.
There are two exceptions: At first humanistic Gymnasien can still have Latin and Greek as languages.
Rheinland- Pfalz and Baden- Württemberg decided to take French as first language and English as second. With the so called Saarprotektorat three German state have introduced this solution.

OOC: No English is first foreign language to teach, excetions excluded. So in grade 5 of all schools, Haupt-, Realschulen, Gymnasien (lyceum), English is tought as first foreign language. Then in the 7th grade French (or Latin at Gymnasien) is tought as second language and, for the Gymnasien an optional third language can be selected from the 9th grade.
As personal not I myself had English from grades 5- 13, Latin from 7- 11, French in 9 and 10 and finally Spanish in 11 and12. The other languages I had to abort because no courses were offered or I could not select them.
