Kainz scored spot-kicks in each half, having been allowed a repeat chance after missing the second when Gladbach goalkeeper Moritz Nicolas advanced off his line.
Germany forward Luca Waldschmidt, who won the second penalty, added Cologne's third in injury time to seal a victory which dragged the hosts out of the bottom two.
"We're definitely relieved to have got the first three points," Kainz told DAZN. "Of course we're being questioned, but what matters is that we're staying calm internally."Kainz was called to the spot nine minutes into the derby clash after Manu Kone hand balled on the edge of the box.
Switzerland defender Nico Elvedi headed Gladbach level from Franck Honorat's corner midway through the second half but Kone was sent off with 18 minutes remaining.
