Bäckerei Herbert Meyer und Sohn GmbH
Bäckerei Herbert Meyer und Sohn GmbH is a German private limited company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung, GmbH) entered in the commercial register (Handelsregister) of the Amtsgericht Hildesheim under HRB 100142, with its registered seat in Wahrenholz, Lower Saxony. The register’s search index marked the entry as current (“aktuell”) on 22 October 2026 and notes that the sheet was formerly kept by the Amtsgericht Gifhorn. The company runs a craft bakery and a chain of bakery shops trading as “Heidebäckerei Meyer” / “Bäckerei Meyer”.
According to the company’s own website, the bakery business traces back to 1925, when a master baker founded it in Eschede before moving it to Wahrenholz. It produces bread, rolls, pastries, cakes and snacks, and also sells its own coffee and offers bread-tasting events. The website states 110 shops (“Filialen”) and 1,100 employees; these are the company’s own undated figures, not audited numbers. In 2022 production and administration moved from Hauptstraße in central Wahrenholz to a new bakery and head-office building at Bäcker-Meyer-Straße 1 on the edge of the village. The website’s legal notice still gives Hauptstraße 55, 29399 Wahrenholz as the company address.
The legal notice names the Handwerkskammer Braunschweig-Lüneburg-Stade as the supervisory chamber and gives the VAT identification number DE 178851104. The EU VIES service confirmed that number as valid on 22 October 2026 but does not publish the holder’s name for German numbers.
Annual financial statements of Bäckerei Herbert Meyer und Sohn GmbH are indexed in the Bundesanzeiger for every financial year from 2006 to 2021. The most recent, for the year ended 31 December 2021, was published on 17 May 2023. Accounts for financial years starting after 31 December 2021 are filed with the Unternehmensregister rather than the Bundesanzeiger, so the gap after 2021 does not by itself show that later accounts were not filed. The documents themselves sit behind a security check and were not read, so no revenue or profit figure is given here. The company has no Legal Entity Identifier in the GLEIF database.

Shareholders of Bäckerei Herbert Meyer und Sohn GmbH
Who owns Bäckerei Herbert Meyer und Sohn GmbH could not be confirmed from a primary source on 22 October 2026. As a GmbH, the company must file a shareholder list (Gesellschafterliste) with the commercial register at the Amtsgericht Hildesheim (HRB 100142). On the day of research, however, the register portal had document retrieval switched off for every Lower Saxony court. The same “Abruf nicht möglich” notice appeared for an unrelated Lower Saxony control company, while a North Rhine-Westphalia control company still offered its documents. No shareholder list, current printout or chronological printout could be read.
The provider data previously shown on this page listed Meyer Brot & Heimat Vermögensverwaltung GmbH & Co. KG twice, each row at 50% with one ordinary share of EUR 26,000. The register search confirms that a partnership of that name exists: it is entered at the Amtsgericht Hildesheim under HRA 203009, has its seat in Wahrenholz and was marked current. Its shareholding in this company was not verified. The two rows may describe two shares held by one partner, but that is unconfirmed, and no total holding is given here.
Data availability
Shareholder data: Restricted. German GmbH shareholder lists are public in the commercial register, but they could not be retrieved on the research date. Beneficial-ownership data in the German Transparenzregister has not been open to the general public since the CJEU judgment of 22 November 2022 (C-37/20 and C-601/20). No beneficial owner is named on this page.

Directors and officers of Bäckerei Herbert Meyer und Sohn GmbH
The company’s statutory legal notice (Impressum, required under §5 DDG) names three managing directors (Geschäftsführer) of Bäckerei Herbert Meyer und Sohn GmbH: Herbert Meyer, Marcell Meyer and Frank Kolbe. It also names Marcell Meyer as the person responsible for website content. The legal notice was read on 22 October 2026. It is the company’s own disclosure, not a register extract. It gives no appointment dates, does not say whether the directors may act alone or only jointly, and does not mention any authorised signatories (Prokuristen).
The company’s website also says that Herbert Meyer ran the bakery for many decades and is now handing it over to his son Marcell. This page does not treat that statement as a change of office, because the legal notice still lists both as managing directors.
The register’s chronological printout would show each director’s appointment and departure dates. It could not be retrieved on the research date (see Data availability). For that reason this page gives no appointment dates and does not identify any former officer.
Data availability
Officer data: Partial. Current managing directors are confirmed from the company’s own statutory legal notice only. The German commercial register publishes managing directors, authorised signatories and representation rules, but its documents for Lower Saxony courts could not be retrieved on 22 October 2026, so appointment and resignation dates are not available. German registers do not record nationality, so nationality is not disclosed.

Group Structure
Group structure of Bäckerei Herbert Meyer und Sohn GmbH
No parent company or subsidiary of Bäckerei Herbert Meyer und Sohn GmbH could be verified from a primary source on 22 October 2026. The provider data previously shown on this page placed the company under Meyer Brot & Heimat Vermögensverwaltung GmbH & Co. KG as a 100% parent, with J.H. Meyer Bäckerei GmbH and MH Bäckerei Meyer GmbH as companies under the same parent. The commercial register search confirms that all three exist and are marked current, and that each has its seat in Wahrenholz like the subject company. Sharing a seat and a family name is not evidence of ownership, however, and the documents that would show ownership could not be retrieved. These links are therefore listed below as possible relationships only.
Verified corporate relationships
| Entity | Country | Registration number | Relationship | Ownership | Status | Information date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meyer Brot & Heimat Vermögensverwaltung GmbH & Co. KG | Germany | HRA 203009, Amtsgericht Hildesheim | Possible relationship (shareholder, per provider data, not verified) | Ownership percentage not verified | Current (register index) | 2026-10-22 |

| MH Bäckerei Meyer GmbH | Germany | HRB 207233, Amtsgericht Hildesheim | Possible relationship (not verified) | Ownership percentage not disclosed | Current (register index) | 2026-10-22 |
Data availability
Group data: Not found. No relationship could be verified. The German register publishes GmbH shareholder lists, but Lower Saxony document retrieval was offline on the research date. The company has no LEI, so GLEIF holds no parent data for it. This absence does not show that the company is independent.
