DFMG Deutsche Funkturm GmbH
DFMG Deutsche Funkturm GmbH is a German limited liability company (GmbH) registered with the Handelsregister at the Amtsgericht Köln (Cologne) under number HRB 123698 (EUID DER3306.HRB123698), with VAT identification number DE813427490. The company was first entered in the commercial register in 2001 at the Amtsgericht Münster under HRB 6194, with an effective founding date of 1 January 2002. That Münster entry was closed after the company relocated its registered office to Werkstättenstr. 37, 51379 Leverkusen, Germany, on 1 July 2025, and it is now registered at the Amtsgericht Köln.
DFMG Deutsche Funkturm GmbH plans, builds, leases and manages antenna carrier sites and mobile-network towers across Germany, letting capacity on masts, rooftop sites, in-building systems and other passive telecommunications infrastructure to mobile network operators and other tenants. Its portfolio includes roughly 36,000 antenna sites, among them landmark structures such as Colonius in Cologne and the Europaturm in Frankfurt. The company operates in the passive telecommunications-infrastructure (“tower company”) sector, principally serving Germany’s mobile network operators.
The company is privately held and is not listed on any stock exchange. It operates as part of the wider “GD Towers” business, which together with an Austrian counterpart reported around 44,000 mobile sites and approximately 800 employees, with combined revenue reported at more than EUR 1 billion for 2025; these figures describe the broader GD Towers business rather than DFMG Deutsche Funkturm GmbH specifically, and an entity-level financial figure was not located in the sources reviewed.
A material recent development is the 1 July 2025 relocation of the company’s registered office and operational headquarters from Münster to Leverkusen-Opladen, reflected in its change of commercial-register court and registration number.

Shareholders of DFMG Deutsche Funkturm GmbH
DFMG Deutsche Funkturm GmbH discloses two corporate shareholders in registry-linked share data verified 4 September 2026. DFMG Zwischenholding GmbH holds the largest interest, recorded across two ordinary-share tranches (EUR 9,700 and EUR 15,300 nominal) totaling approximately 82.97% of disclosed share capital. DFMG Holding GmbH holds the remainder, recorded across two further ordinary-share tranches (EUR 132 and EUR 5,000 nominal) totaling approximately 17.03%. Both interests are held directly, and nothing in the sources reviewed indicates either holding is nominal or held for a third party. A separate commercial-register filing dated 3 February 2026 records GD Towers Holding GmbH as a shareholder within the same corporate family; this appears to reflect an upstream entity in the ownership chain rather than a direct shareholder of DFMG Deutsche Funkturm GmbH itself, and the two records were not fully reconcilable during this review.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No individual UBO could be verified for DFMG Deutsche Funkturm GmbH. Its two direct corporate shareholders sit within a multi-tier German holding structure beneath GD Towers Holding GmbH. Deutsche Telekom AG and a consortium of DigitalBridge Group, Inc. and Brookfield Asset Management jointly control the wider “GD Towers” business following a transaction announced in July 2022 and completed on 1 February 2023, with Deutsche Telekom AG retaining a 49% economic interest and the DigitalBridge/Brookfield consortium holding 51% (Deutsche Telekom, DigitalBridge official announcements). A calculated effective ownership percentage down to DFMG Deutsche Funkturm GmbH cannot be produced, because the specific investment vehicles used by DigitalBridge and Brookfield within their 51% consortium stake, and the full intermediate chain connecting them to DFMG’s disclosed direct shareholders, are not published in the sources reviewed.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for DFMG Deutsche Funkturm GmbH is assessed as Partial: the two direct corporate shareholders and their combined share tranches are disclosed through commercial-register-linked data, but natural-person ultimate beneficial owners are not publicly available, consistent with Germany’s restricted-access Transparenzregister, and the relationship between the disclosed direct shareholders and the separately filed “GD Towers Holding GmbH” shareholder record was not fully reconciled.

Directors and officers of DFMG Deutsche Funkturm GmbH
DFMG Deutsche Funkturm GmbH currently discloses three active managing directors (Geschäftsführer), confirmed via the company’s own legal notice retrieved 24 September 2026: Philipp Pohlmann (Chairman of the Management/CEO), Thomas Ried and Samuel A. Tomic. Commercial-register data indicates Philipp Pohlmann was appointed as a managing director on 10 March 2025 and Samuel A. Tomic on 6 September 2023; a register-filed appointment date for Thomas Ried was not located in the sources reviewed. At least two former managing directors are on record: Bruno Jacobfeuerborn, who led the company as Chairman/CEO and stepped down effective 1 September 2026, and Martin Bouchard, who resigned effective 1 August 2022. The underlying registry-derived officer data is current as of 4 September 2026; the most recent leadership change (1 September 2026) was confirmed through press coverage and had not yet been independently matched to a corresponding register filing at the time of this review.
Recent officer changes
- Change of role: Philipp Pohlmann became Chairman of the Management (CEO) of DFMG Deutsche Funkturm GmbH, effective 1 September 2026, succeeding Bruno Jacobfeuerborn – source: Telecom Handel, September 2026.
- Resignation: Bruno Jacobfeuerborn stepped down as Chairman/CEO effective 1 September 2026 and moved into a senior-advisor role with the company – source: Telecom Handel, September 2026.
- Appointment: Samuel A. Tomic appointed managing director, effective 6 September 2023 – source: commercial register (via northdata.com).
Data availability
Officer information is assessed as Partial: the company’s current managing directors are confirmed via its own legal notice and, for two of the three, via commercial-register appointment dates, but a register-filed date for Thomas Ried and formal register confirmation of the September 2026 CEO transition were not located in the sources reviewed. Nationality is not disclosed for any officer in the sources reviewed; German commercial-register filings of this kind do not routinely publish nationality, and country of residence is likewise not disclosed.

Group Structure
Group structure of DFMG Deutsche Funkturm GmbH
DFMG Deutsche Funkturm GmbH is part of a verified corporate group and is not an independent company. Its immediate direct shareholders, per registry-linked data verified 4 September 2026, are DFMG Zwischenholding GmbH (holding approximately 82.97% of disclosed share capital, internal registration reference DE 50670B123794) and DFMG Holding GmbH (holding approximately 17.03%, internal registration reference DE 50670B123776). A separate commercial-register filing dated 3 February 2026 records GD Towers Holding GmbH (internal registration reference DE 53111B26547) as a shareholder within the same corporate family, consistent with GD Towers Holding GmbH functioning as an upstream German holding company for the wider “GD Towers” tower business, though the precise tier at which it sits relative to DFMG Holding GmbH was not independently confirmed against the public register. Registry-linked data also referenced further upstream Luxembourg-incorporated holding entities; these could not be independently corroborated through public sources during this review and are therefore omitted below. The same data lists several German operating entities beneath DFMG Deutsche Funkturm GmbH, including engineering and site-management partnerships trading as “OmegaTowers” and “DFMG Engineering”, though ownership percentages for these were not disclosed.
