You just take the thermostat off the wall and put it in a drawer and then you buy a new thermostat and put it on the wall and then when you give the apartment back, you take the old thermostat and you put it back on the wall

Also, if you read this far, are you German or something? you can just do things. which OP seems to know. And even if the landlord came and saw the apartment as long as the new thermostat isn’t neon orange, he isn’t going to notice and even if he somehow noticed you would just gaslight him and say no that’s how it’s always been and how the hell is he gonna escalate past that? And why would he if the new thermostat is more expensive and has better features?
