Dear Ralf, I understand your disappointment and your concern, being in a similar situation (As far as I am concerned, when I moved from South Africa to Tunisia, I brought my KR2 along, hoping to register in Tunisia, which soon proved impossible; I then had to re-export the plane, to France, where I am now hoping to register).
If I were you, I would not give up. The Germans are tough on regulations, bet they are fair: if you meet them, they will let you fly. This being said, as I know the Germans, they are perfectionists; they like everything to be up to the best standards, so be prepared for some hard work. Also, keep in mind that in Europe, the sky is much more crowded than in the US, so private flying is considered a privilege, not a right. I, personally, will fight dearly to get ZS-WEC back in the air, despite the fact that I now live away from my plane. I will make her look neat, suppress all the shabby details; I will prepare superb paperwork, etc. And if I fail, it will be with the satisfaction of having tried everything.

For shure I will NEVER try to register anything with the german aviation administration ( LBA ) . I don't think there is anyone with a KR2 in germany, and there will never be one. The goal of the german aviation administration is to keep people out of flying. Looks like I have to dump my plane.
