Welcome to the Sanskrit lexicons prepared since 1994 by the Institute of Indology and Tamil Studies, Cologne University.
The 38 dictionaries are organized primarily by the secondary language (English, German, etc.), and then by date of publication (1832 till 1993).
Each dictionary has several types of display (B L A M), as well as PDF scan and XML (in SLP1) files for download (D).
All dictionaries are also available for offline usage in android phones via this application. It presumes that some form of stardict viewer is installed on your phone. You may try to install stardict viewer by searching for EBdic, colordict, goldendict or stardict.
