People deported from Germany could be sent to the same accommodation originally intended for the UK's now-abandoned deportation scheme, the country's migration minister Joachim Stamp suggested.
Mr Stamp said Rwanda was willing to continue pursuing the idea with Germany.
"We currently have no third country that has come forward, with the exception of Rwanda," he told a podcast by Table Media.
But posting on X, Mr Berger said: "Let's be clear, there is no plan of the German government to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda.
"The discussion is about processing asylum applications in third countries under international humanitarian law and with support of the United Nations."
UK Home Office minister Dame Angela Eagle warned Germany against copying the Conservative deportation scheme, telling Sky News it "wasn't workable".
She added: "It was a gimmick. The last government spent £700m to get four people to voluntarily go to Rwanda. And they were gearing up to spend literally billions more... it simply wasn't working.
"I think the German people will have to decide what to do, but my warning to them would be that the Rwanda scheme was an expensive gimmick and it won't work."
