Information from the trade register
Description
The trade register is kept by the municipalities and contains all companies and businesses notified in accordance with the Industrial Code (GewO) that have their registered office in the respective municipality.
Public bodies and private individuals can obtain an extract from the trade register on request. A consent of the data subject for the disclosure of his data is not required.

No information is provided about deregistered establishments.
