Notable Berlin and Germany-registered companies: listed TecDAX firms, fintechs, and European holding structures.
Germany's Handelsregister is one of the strictest corporate registries in Europe, requiring notary attendance for most filings. The GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschrankter Haftung) is the default private structure; listed companies typically use AG or SE (Societas Europaea) forms. Many Berlin-founded tech companies run a Luxembourg or Dutch holding above a German GmbH operating sub, a pattern used by Delivery Hero, About You, and others.
