  For the remote programs unfortunately I think they are german only.

Not OP, but from my research Fernuni Hagen is supposed to be good https://www.fernuni-hagen.de/mi/studium/msc_informatik/ https://www.fernuni-hagen.de/mi/studium/msc_informatik/ (German only) Around 1000€ for the Computer Science Master.

In my case it's https://www.vfh.de/ https://www.vfh.de/ which is a group of Universities of Applied Science throughout Germany that offer a selection of degrees. I myself am in Berlin, experiences may vary between different universities. I am doing a Medieninformatik Degree which equals something like "Computer Science and Digital Media", meaning some emphasis on Computer Graphics, Web/Mobile Development combined with CS fundamentals etc. If you want a Degree from a research University in pure Comp Sci, Fernuni Hagen is the only options for remote studies afaik.

  That is great. Are you very fluent in german? I speak okayish german. Can definitely understand and work with it, but I think that writing a essay in German for me might be too much. So I've been delaying my MsC until I learn better German, but this will take forever.

    I am german, so yes i guess you could say i am fluent. However, since the studies are mostly remote and a lot of communication is in written form, you should get by with okayish german during the semester and exams. There are quite some essays to write and presentations to hold though (more in the Master than in the BSc), so i am not sure how that would work out but could also see them being flexible and let you do it in english, since it's smaller groups and thus more personal mentoring. This is just a guess though. Otherwise you'd need to try something like Internationale Medieninformatik at TU Berlin which is in english, but not remote unfortunately. Otherwise maybe the Open University Masters is something for you, or of course the GTech MSc which is quite a bit more expensive though.
