How these relationships were recorded

Immediately above Friedrich Ellmers Shipping and Forwarding GmbH is Friedrich Ellmers GmbH & Co., holding 50.3% as filed in Friedrich Ellmers Shipping and Forwarding GmbH's own shareholder record with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.
Those 2 subsidiaries span Germany jurisdiction, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear.
