I just moved to Frankfurt from Hong Kong and several kind users along the way helped with advice on packing, storage and shipping questions. Unfortunately, due to forum restrictions, I am unable to respond to a couple of these users.

So my question is: is anyone currently living in Germany here?

Yes, I think. A couple, actually. However, not all of them feel comfortable outing themselves as Germans, I guess.
I believe that has a psychological origin, also. Few Germans have a national pride*. Neither do I.
It's more about being an European, a Frankfurter, a Brandenburger or a Hesse.

By the way, there are two kinds of Frankfurt: Frankfurt in Hessen (region) and Frankfurt near the Oder river.
Oh, and there's "Stadt Frankfurt", some Kaff in the ex-GDR. 🤣

I'm German and I don't live too far away from Frankfurt (Hessen).

I live in the north of Germany, just next to the Baltic sea. We call ourselves "Fischköpfe" (fish heads) here.
