Apparently you cannot even re-tweet it if i interpret the law correctly here (https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stgb/__90a.html).

"Wer öffentlich, in einer Versammlung oder durch Verbreiten eines Inhalts" means who publicly in a gathering or by distribution of the content.

"die Bundesrepublik Deutschland oder eines ihrer Länder oder ihre verfassungsmäßige Ordnung beschimpft oder böswillig verächtlich macht"

You cannot insult the state or maliciously disparage it.

Likes are illegal, too. Last year, police searched the homes of people because they clicked the like button on a social media post that insulted a killed police woman. [1] The court deemed the likes as endorsements of a crime, which is illegal. [2]

Crazy, i actually tried to find out when those laws went into effect first. They changed the one you mention in 2021 but it seems the law itself has existed for years. The oldest that has a similar meaning was voted in 1953:

you forgot the consequence: "wird mit Freiheitsstrafe bis zu drei Jahren oder mit Geldstrafe bestraft."

Will be punished with up to three years of prison or by fine.
