Could someone please confirm whether this is the case or whether there is already enough support for a German Wikinews?
I can confirm it. And I also confirm that "already" does not apply. Support for a vapourous thing won't increase. Please stop assuming that the success or failure or the whatever of en.wikinews will have a short term influence on de in case you do.
I just want to make it clear that I was never assuming one Wikinews would influence the success of another in the way that you imply. I was simply passing on the results of a discussion on IRC, in which I was led to believe that one of the German mailing lists had made a decision about this, and I wanted to clarify the situation before the wiki was created.
Anyhow, the wiki now exists and I have made Elian an administrator there and Mathias a bureaucrat as per requests via Jimbo.
