Yup indeedy!
IMO, in a case of "applicant must have fluent German" then you are indeed
stuffed. No way round that.
If, however, it's a case of "have several possible applicants with varying
strengths and weaknesses, how to narrow the choice down?" then the
ability to speak
some (not necessarily fluent) German could very well tip
the balance in your favour.
And, believe it or not, with a good teacher and a motivated bunch of
classmates, it can be good fun learning
