Tough to do an inter-agency transfer (L1) if it's because you closed your international location, but they do have a distribution facility in Eindhoven and an IT center in Pune. (And probably more elsewhere, but I just looked at the 'careers' page.)
It's amusing/ironic to look through their press kit. Especially "Happy 1 Year Birthday Fab Europe -3.5M Members And 30% of Fab’s Global Sales-February 21, 2013.pdf", which is all about the growth of the Berlin office.
That said, you don't need a lot of people after the Brennschluss. Amazon laid off 300+ people in IT after the big initial push. Builders are less important than processors after a company has established a new capability. You'll often create a redundant hierarchy to Get S* Done that will become an obstacle to later growth.
There may also be a bit of German labor law involved as well. Closing the location entirely may let them dodge termination considerations.
