Ernst Russ AG is a Join Stock Company registered in Germany under HRB 93324 Hamburg, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. Its registered address on file is Hamburg, Germany. 3 shareholders are on record for Ernst Russ AG, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Handelsregister (Commercial Register) and was last updated on 25 September 2026.

Shareholders

Shareholders of Ernst Russ AG

Three shareholders are currently on record for Ernst Russ AG, based on voting-rights notifications filed under the WpHG (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz). The largest of these is Ernst Russ AG, holding 100% — a majority holding — followed by Old Westbury Small & Mid Cap Strategies Fund at 84.5%; the remaining 1 shareholder shown holds smaller stakes. Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Directors and officers of Ernst Russ AG

Four of the 30 officer records shown for Ernst Russ AG are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Thomas Deutsch (appointed 2013-03-12) and Florian Kocks (appointed 2014-06-10) both serve as Officer; Robert Werner Gärtner (appointed 2019-03-13) and Joseph Elias Schuchmann both serve as Aufsichtsratsmitglied (board member). The remaining 26 records shown (Robert Gartner, Harald Christ and 24 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at Ernst Russ AG sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control. The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.

Group Structure

Group structure of Ernst Russ AG

Ernst Russ AG has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 5 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 1 jurisdiction. 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.

  • Ernst Russ Tanker Flotten Holding GmbH & Co. KG (Germany)
  • Ernst Russ Maritime Management GmbH & Co. KG (Germany)
  • ER Beteiligungsholding GmbH & Co. KG (Germany)
  • ER Beteiligungsverwaltung GmbH (Germany)
  • Ernst Russ Flotten Holding GmbH & Co. KG (Germany)

Data availability

Those 5 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. Five of the 5 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
