There is almost no real forest left in Germany anyways. We just recently started to leave forest be forest again and it will take centuries or millennia for it to become a natural forest again. Which then would probably be much more resilient to climate change than what we have today.

There are still a couple of really old forests but yeah it's increasingly rare
