Renew green card

I won Dv lottery in 2015 moved to the US and stayed for a year. After I got married and moved to Germany to stay with my husband. Before I left, I had processed the travel documents as I would be out of state. The travel document is now long expired. Do not know how to return it.

I visited the US twice after and since then I have not been there as I cannot be in 2 places at the same time.
My Green card expired this year in March. Can I renew my Green card online? Or i have to be present in the state to have my picture and biometrics taken again? Since I have family leaving in the US, can I use their postal address for the delivery of the card if possible? And which form do i fill online if this is possible.
Thank you.
 
No, you cannot renew your GC online from outside the US. A good argument can be made to the fact that you’ve more or less abandoned your LPR status. Prior to your GC being expired, what did you do to maintain your US residency? Where you filing your taxes for the past 9 years?
 
Thank you Sm1mom for the answer. I don't think I was filing my taxes and since my last 2 visits since I got married in 2016. I have not been to the US.
