While the YT video has drawn comments on the internet from around the world, the German semi-official TV channel PHOENIX was running a sanitized version of the event:

For more context, here's the text from the RT.com article, where the original video is embedded:
So, the shaking doesn't seem to come from a lack of water indeed. And the German article also says, that the weather was more cool in Berlin this morning after several days of heat.

Angela Merkel shakes AGAIN during official ceremony (VIDEO)
Concerns for German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s health grow once more as she was filmed struggling to keep her composure and visibly shaking during an official ceremony for the second time this month.
So not cold and not lack of water. I think that was pretty obvious from the first time. So what kind of condition produces this kind of shaking?
These involuntary tremors appear to be neurological. Essential tremor of unknown etiology, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis or something along those lines. Definitely not dehydration, low blood sugar or cold.
It's possible she received some sort of diagnosis when she announced her retirement as chancellor and it is becoming worse (and noticeable) over time.

As the visit of the Ukrainian president had shown, Merkel seems to be prone to these symptoms as long as she has to keep standing still. Once she can walk about the tremor seems to subside.
During her 2017 state visit to Mexico she is said to have been experiencing similar symptoms but I couldn't find any videos corroborating that.
There is obviously no medication to suppress this condition, if only for an hour...

There is also a new incident where Merkel is having tremors. It happened during the announcement of the new justice minister today in Berlin.
Parkinson also crossed my mind in the beginning.

The Presidential schedules, in the last 2-3 weeks, have been really intensive preparing for the G20 summit - on top of the Iranian situation and shooting down of a US drone by Iran. From the information I have come across, Merkel tends towards being "a dedicated workaholic" and has rarely missed a scheduled meeting or other obligation since becoming Chancellor. Part of her health condition might be due to the rigors of her position, stress and meeting deadlines but there does seem to be signs - she's dealing with a health issue.

Merkel was asked about the shaking again after the second happening above at the G20 summit that is happening right now, her answer was the same: "I'm doing very well".

hey mrtn,
So the "Dehydration"-narrative falls so soon... as this time she refuses the offered glass of water. Maybe she rejected it because it would have made the shaking more visible...?
I am in Germany too, and I can watch it.

The dehydration theory has a problem for me, although it may be nothing. In the following quote from Pashalis, you'll notice that dehydration is not listed as a cause of shaking:
Maybe it's just a cause that was left out or overlooked?

Yes, Nienna, I noticed and knew that. I was not referring to the real reason but to the NARRATIVE that Merkel herself put out to the press conference. Thats all.
