2 hours clears the 45-minute international minimum connection time at Koln Bonn, but you should still head directly to your gate. Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are linked by a covered walkway that takes roughly 10-15 minutes on foot, with clear signage throughout. Passengers arriving from non-Schengen flights and connecting onward within Schengen (or vice versa) must clear passport control in Terminal 2, and security re-screening is required for anyone arriving from outside the Schengen security zone.
