Yo Toytowners! It feels good to be back on these hallowed greyscale pages.   I'm now living in Lithuania (yes, the place next to WWIII). Looks like I will (assuming we survive) get a state pension here, and I think the EU means my DE contributions can be counted towards that too.   So: I want to get hold of my retirement insurance (state pension) records (Versicherungsverlauf) from the awesome offices in Hessen, but it seems like this is a bigger deal from abroad then just rocking up at Konsti and getting a printout.   I actually do have a mail redirect in place so theoretically they should just send it to me but it doesn't look like it's happening.   Emails and phone calls to  Deutsche Rentenversicherung seem to just go into a black hole.   Anyone successfully got this magic piece of paper from another country before and got a hint how to do it?   Otherwise see you at Konsti this summer for a pizza, maybe.

This may be a long shot, but anyone know if I can keep paying into my German pension even though I relocated to Lithuania?   I'm guessing the German state pension is better. I'm a German citizen.

Fun fact, my new location isn't even listed on TT 🤷

...where are you then, approx, and why do you still hang around?
