freenet AG is a registered legal entity registered in Germany under HRB 7306 KI Kiel, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. The company was incorporated on 26 May 2005 and lists its registered address as Büdelsdorf, Germany. 6 shareholders are on record for freenet 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 freenet AG

Six shareholders are currently on record for freenet AG, held on the Gesellschafterliste (shareholder list), filed under §40 of the GmbHG. The largest of these is VANGUARD STAR FUNDS-Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund, holding 38.6% — the largest recorded stake — followed by iShares Trust-iShares International Select Dividend ETF at 19.5%; the remaining 4 shareholders shown hold 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.

Officers

Directors and officers of freenet AG

Four of the 31 officer records shown for freenet AG are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Alexander Borgwardt (appointed 2011-08-22) and Andreas Mitscherling (appointed 2011-08-22) both serve as Officer; Ingo Arnold (appointed 2019-01-24) and Robin John Andes Harries both serve as Aufsichtsratsmitglied (board member). The remaining 25 records shown (Christoph Vilanek, Robin John Andres Harries and 18 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at freenet 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 freenet AG

freenet AG has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 6 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.

  • freenet Logistik GmbH (Germany)
  • freenet DLS GmbH (Germany)
  • MobilCom Multimedia GmbH (Germany)
  • freenet Cityline GmbH (Germany)
  • eXaring AG (Germany)
  • freenet.de GmbH (Germany)

Data availability

Those 6 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. Three of the 6 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
