I did it with a GmbH. You can always merge it with you as solo-entrepreneur. You need a balance sheet (don't ask me about the time limits, there was a Covid exception when I did it), a notary for paper work and of you go. Fast, easy and painless. Needs some additional paper work if there a more than one share holders. There are some loss carry forward limits and liability aspects to consider, the act itslef is quite easy so.
Not so fast if you’ve already moved on and not in Germany anymore. I’ve tried it, even set up an online fax number in 2021 to communicate with them, but there’s no real resolution.
Also German post won’t properly forward mail anyway and to me it’s a foreign country to which I don’t intend to return, so I’ll probably just let it go and treat it as resolved.
