Both use summer time but change on different weekends, which is why the gap moves for a few weeks in spring and autumn. A recurring meeting set in one city's calendar arrives an hour early or late in the other for those weeks.
Making it work
With no shared working hours, someone is always early or late. Rotate who that is: alternate the hour between Los Angeles's morning and Berlin's, so the same person is not on at 7 am every week.
Keep calls short and the rest written. Updates, reviews and anything that can wait a few hours do better as a message with a deadline than as a meeting that costs someone their evening.
When you do meet, offer two or three hours that each ask a little of both sides, and let the group vote. People accept an early start more readily when they chose it.
