Thank you for following up. Wikimedia Deutschland will not host a

visas, takes a lot of time
Oh, I totally didn't notice that this was about 2021! Thanks for pointing

Dear all,
It’s with regret that we have to inform you that due to the continued
global health situation (COVID-19), the meeting of the Wikimedia Summit 2021
and related side events in Berlin have been cancelled.
We optimistically look forward to safely reconvening in Berlin in 2022.
