German BERT base

Released, Oct 2020, this is a German BERT language model trained collaboratively by the makers of the original German BERT (aka "bert-base-german-cased") and the dbmdz BERT (aka bert-base-german-dbmdz-cased). In our paper, we outline the steps taken to train our model and show that it outperforms its predecessors.
