What are the chances of getting a master's degree in Germany?

So, there is the following situation:
- I am currently 20 years old. I am finishing my fourth year at the Faculty of Business Informatics in the summer of 2021
- I managed to work as an intern at Sberbank as a business analyst
- Since the end of October, I have been independently deepening my knowledge in applied mathematics and computer science, and have been doing data analysis. Self-learning is slow but sure. (For example, I want to not just know how to use ML algorithms, but understand them from a mathematical point of view. Therefore, it takes quite a lot of time)
- English level B2

Main idea:
The very immersion in data analysis as one of the branches of computer science, at the end of October, I started for a reason. During the last years of study, I realized that I was interested in doing computer science, and not business analysis in the field of IT. Even during my studies, I was more interested in subjects related to programming, computing systems, databases.

Actually the question itself:
I want to go to Germany for a master's degree in Data Science or Computer Science. Programs in English, all the requirements for exams a la TOEFL, GRE, I can master, pass and receive certificates by the beginning of 2022.
My grade point average (GPA) is around ~4.0
So, in many universities they write that there should be a bachelor's degree in: mathematics, physics, computer science or SIMILAR areas.
So I was wondering if there are people here who did not have one of the above bachelor's degrees and entered the CS (DS) master's program in Germany?
Can my direction of Business Informatics be considered the same “similar” direction?

PS
Yes, of course, I will check directly with universities, there are 10 tier2 programs of universities in mind.

And yes, I read an article on Habré, about how the author entered the master's program. But even to him with a bachelor of AI, some universities denied him a master's degree in AI.

The most important thing in your question is to find a university/professor who will be interested in you and ready to accept you.
If the university has an international department, you can try to resolve the issue through them. Or, for example, use a crutch in the form of programs like Erasmus with a specialized internship.
References, program compliances, etc. - these papers can be easily prepared according to their requirements. I think your university and department will assist.
It will also be a plus if you pull up basic German (actually in 3-5 months).
And thoroughly study the DAAD programs - there may be an interesting story for you. Through them it is easier to implement all this.
The only thing is that there is a pandemic now, so it’s not a fact that the deadlines can be met. Might have to look to 2023.
