Having lived in Germany for a year (in the vicinity of Darmstadt to boot!), I can safely say that in point of fact, a considerable portion of the people there will not speak particularily good English. They may have a weak grasp of it, but German is a big enough language that its speakers don't really feel an overriding need to learn English.
That said, if you'll be in the university, the people there will be among those who are best educated, and will know good English. Also, in cities, people generally do better. Also, Germans are pleasant people anyway, so you should have a decent time.
Still, learn German anyway.
