Anyway, I know basically nothing about law but how about something like 'The German Friends of Wikimedia' (in German obviously)? There's an organisation called 'The American Friends of Cambridge University' (or something like that) which uses the name of Cambridge University but is not a part of it as such (they donate money for scholarships and things like that). Would/could this be an acceptable solution?
If there are safeguards in place, yes, that's a reasonable solution.
I think what we need here is a German lawyer who is fluent in English.
