Apparently, some German communist politician was angry about something
in "his" article, so he got a court order to prevent forwarding from
wikipedia.de to de.wikipedia.org.

On his web page, above politician now says he won't proceed further
against the German chapter (who owns wikipedia.de), which might mean
the forwarding can be reestablished soon.
