How do crosswinds affect runway selection at Cologne Bonn Airport?

Aircraft land and depart into the wind. Headwind is the part of the wind along the runway heading. Crosswind is the part blowing across the pavement. A negative headwind is a tailwind. At Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN/EDDK) the live call is landing and departure 13L with METAR wind 150° @ 12 kt. 13L shows 11.7 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and 2.5 kt crosswind from the right. Controllers switch runways when the opposite threshold offers more headwind, or when the crosswind on the runway in use climbs. The component table lists every EDDK threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
