A couple of questions to consider besides the tution costs:

1) Where do you want to work?
2) What are your goals?
3) Which langauges do you speak?
4) Most importantly (since you say 'cost-effective'): What is the career outcome of each of these schools? Even the cheapest looking school is quite ineffective if your outcome is low...

Maybe you should consider changing the angle to a more ROI-oriented view - if you only consider costs, you miss half the picture.

Learning the language is not a small thing. 30k dollars is getting close to ranked schools like Durham, Bradford and Lancaster. At least the accredited German programs will tend to support language learning and offer careers services. Bremen and Pisa cannot be taken seriously.
