This is not only a SPOF and a problem for latency for both wikidata and dewiki, it is also a huge blocker for cross-dc reads, as application servers from the remote datacenter won't be able to read from the master except on very rare and specific occasions (I am adding Performance-Team because of this).
This is not the first time it happens, but there is a large increase with constant high reads since 2016-09-24 2:37:42 UTC.
I do not know the cause for this yet- adding Wikidata because it is either that or dewiki having a really bad pattern, needs research.
