As someone who's learned (and forgotten) a few foreign languages, including German, the requirement for a C1 level in German would be pretty damn high, especially since Germans are rather strict on grammar (im not going there... ;)
In other words, someone trying to save money on tuition via a German undergrad would be trading a LOT of time and energy to learn German in exchange for the tuition.
I suppose this is part of the reason for allowing foreigners free education.

There definitely are. I studied entirely in English at TU Darmstadt for example (that was in 2004). They also offered free German classes in a preparatory program back then.

Can you name an undergraduate program in an Engineering/computer science related field conducted entirely in English? At TU Darmstadt or any other public school? I very much suspect that this is not an option if your intent is to get a degree. This is only an option for US undergrads on a study abroad supported by their home schools or for Master's students.
