The process is painfully difficult also for a native speaker. I can totally relate to the report as a German, whose wife went through the same fun recently with her GmbH. Actually, the process for liquidation of the limited can easily be worse. Things btw get a lot easier if you just do not open a limited (e.g. an engineering office). So all this is seems on purpose: if you survive the purgatory and are willing to burn money continuously to finance the system, you deserve some trust. That it does not make much sense in the modern global startup world is another story.
