My understanding is that you need a German person to 'vouch' for you.  At 
least thats what I had to provide to Indian counterparts that visited 
Australia with me.  It is more a guarantee that the person is not being a 
refugee and also if there are any issues they know who to confront.

It was a pretty simple letter stating that this person is invited by me and 
will be staying under our care from [date] -> [date] and is here on business 
regarding [business]

I can't personally remember the whole letter but I remember I had to put in 
how they were going to be accomodated, costs bourne by and the like.  It 
seems like a waste of time but I think its here to stay for the moment.


Good luck
