We started it in the 5th year. It was mandatory to learn a foreign language and English was default. The guy who took Latin had to specificly request it. Everyone else didn't have to do anything and ended up in English lessons.

Same here. We could choose french, or if we did not bother to choose ended up in english... So I reckon either it changed in the early-mid 2000s or it is "Ländersache" and some have a choice option, others don't.
