I'm also wondering if Germans use mostly cotton and wool to clothe themselves. The textiles part seems very, very small.

Cotton is common in shirts and pants, also underwear and socks (often mixed with synthetics) but wool not so much. Viscose had a bit of revival in the last couple of years as a more sustainable option. Same goes for linen in summer clothes. However, acrylics is still the norm for sweaters and other winter items. Coats are very often mostly or all synthetic fibre. I own a 13 year old winter coat that's 50% wool but I haven't seen anything similar in years.
