From my totally uninformed non-lawyer knowledge: It's more or less safe to ignore random letters from German lawyers until they are forwarded to you by a German court (usually in a yellow(?) envelope).

You mean letters without "Rechtsbehelfsbelehrung" which is information on legal remedies. If that information on legal remedies isn't on a letter, then yes a fictive person could always ignore such a fictive letter. I am not a lawyer!

Usually the informal letter only asks for half the amount you will have to pay when you lose in court

And you will lose because Germany is totalitarian

That's only in Germany though
