Hammer GmbH & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft
Hammer GmbH & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft is a German limited partnership with a limited company as its general partner (GmbH & Co. KG), registered at the Amtsgericht Aachen (Local Court of Aachen) under HRA 4214. Its seat is Aachen and its registered business address is Charlottenburger Allee 33, 52068 Aachen. The register sheet was current on 21 October 2026. It records 1 July 1997 as the start date of the partnership and 12 August 1997 as the date of its first entry. The paper sheet was moved to the electronic register on 25 July 2002.
The partnership is a freight forwarding and logistics business that trades as “Hammer Advanced Logistics”. On its own website it describes three lines of business. The first is transport logistics: road freight in Germany and across Europe, air and sea freight, secured transport of high-value goods, and transport insurance. The second is contract logistics: warehousing, an automated small-parts warehouse, fulfilment, production-related services and handling of dangerous goods. The third is logistics consulting and project development. It also offers customs and foreign-trade services. The company lists logistics sites in Aachen, Eschweiler (the “Logistik Campus Eschweiler”, which it describes as 105,000 m² of usable floor space) and Düren (a 30,000 m² hall). It traces the business back to a family transport firm founded in Aachen in 1946.
The company also lists these certifications on its website. It has held DIN EN ISO 9001 since May 2002 and ISO 14001 since 1998. It holds AEO F status (Authorised Economic Operator, the full customs-and-security version) and is an approved air-cargo carrier listed with the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt, Germany’s federal aviation authority. It also holds TAPA FSR Level A and TAPA TSR (security standards for transported goods) and IFS logistics certification. These are the company’s own statements. They were not checked against the issuing bodies.
The Impressum (legal notice) on hammer-ac.de names this partnership, gives register number HRA 4214 Aachen and gives the VAT number DE 812242984. The EU VIES service confirmed that VAT number as valid on 21 October 2026. A control number one digit different was rejected. VIES does not return names or addresses for German VAT numbers. On 21 October 2026 the website itself was offline (its host had switched off PHP processing), so the website facts above come from archived copies dated June and July 2026. Revenue and headcount for this partnership on its own were not found in any free primary source. German annual accounts for financial years after 2021 are filed with the Unternehmensregister and could not be retrieved.

Shareholders

Shareholders of Hammer GmbH & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft
A KG has no share capital divided into shares. Instead, the commercial register lists its partners. The general partner (Komplementär) has unlimited liability. Each limited partner (Kommanditist) is registered with a Haftsumme: the maximum amount for which that partner is liable to creditors. Until 2024 the register called this amount the “Einlage”.
The Amtsgericht Aachen print for HRA 4214 (retrieved 21 October 2026; last entry 19 March 2026) shows these partners:
- General partner: Hammer GmbH, Aachen (AG Aachen HRB 7007). No liability amount or contribution is registered for it.
- Limited partner Tim Wilhelm Hammer: Haftsumme EUR 2,139,900. He joined by special legal succession (Sonderrechtsnachfolge), entered 20 February 2026. This means he took over part of an existing partner’s interest.
- Limited partner Wolfgang Hammer: Haftsumme EUR 600,000. This is after a reduction of EUR 2,139,900 by that same succession, entered 20 February 2026.
- Limited partner Helmut Wintgens: Haftsumme EUR 260,100. This amount was last increased on 5 July 2004.
Registered Haftsummen total EUR 3,000,000. They measure liability to creditors, not shares of capital, profit or votes. Those are set by the partnership agreement, which is not filed publicly. The register therefore discloses who the partners of Hammer GmbH & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft are, but not their ownership percentages.
The shareholder table shown on this page comes from the data provider and is not correct. It lists Wolfgang Hammer at 91.3% and Helmut Wintgens at 8.7%, both as “ordinary shares” of EUR 1. These are liability amounts from a 2004 register entry (EUR 2,739,900 and EUR 260,100), turned into share counts and percentages. Wolfgang Hammer’s amount was replaced on 20 February 2026. The table also leaves out limited partner Tim Wilhelm Hammer and the general partner Hammer GmbH.
Data availability
Partial. The register publishes the partners and their liability amounts, but not their shares of capital or votes. The owners of the general partner, Hammer GmbH, were not checked because its shareholder list was not retrieved. Beneficial ownership is held in the German Transparenzregister, which is not open to public inspection. No ultimate beneficial owner is stated here.

Directors and officers of Hammer GmbH & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft
Hammer GmbH & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft has no managing directors of its own. It is represented by its general partner, Hammer GmbH (AG Aachen HRB 7007). The register says each general partner represents the partnership alone and is exempt from the self-dealing restriction in § 181 BGB (German Civil Code). Hammer GmbH acts through its Geschäftsführer (managing directors). The HRB 7007 print of 21 October 2026 lists six of them. Each can act alone and is exempt from § 181 BGB:
- Wolfgang Hammer and Helmut Wintgens: already on the register when it went electronic in July 2002
- Dirk Franken: appointment entered 8 May 2013; sole authority entered 4 February 2019
- Dieter Lubberich: entered 2 July 2020
- Tim Wilhelm Hammer: entered 29 November 2021
- Michael Rohn: entered 11 March 2026
At partnership level the register shows one current authorised signatory (Prokurist), Holger Ortwig. He holds joint power of attorney (Gesamtprokura) and must sign together with a general partner or another Prokurist. His entry was already on the sheet when it went electronic on 25 July 2002 and was entered again on 2 July 2004.
Seven people’s powers of attorney have ended. Dirk Franken’s ended on 3 June 2013. Elmar Brosius’s ended on 5 July 2004, Reinhard Mäuser’s on 11 July 2006 and Lutz Harde’s on 4 October 2012. Michael Gamm held two grants, ending on 28 December 2016 and 25 September 2017. Tim Wilhelm Hammer’s ended on 22 November 2021 and Michael Rohn’s on 19 March 2026. Four former managing directors of Hammer GmbH are also recorded: Thorsten Sega, Lutz Harde, Holger Mathias Artelt and Matthias Weiner. All dates are register entry dates.
The officer cards on this page come from the data provider and are wrong in several ways. They list Michael Rohn as an active officer since 2012, but his power of attorney ended on 19 March 2026. He is now a managing director of the general partner. They give Holger Ortwig an appointment date of 1 July 2023, which no register entry supports. They label everyone “Officer” when these are powers of attorney. They show none of the managing directors. Only 5 of the 11 rows the provider reports are stored.
Recent officer changes
- 11 March 2026: Michael Rohn appointed managing director of the general partner, Hammer GmbH (HRB 7007).
- 19 March 2026: Michael Rohn’s joint power of attorney for the KG ended (HRA 4214, entry 20).
- 29 November 2021: Tim Wilhelm Hammer appointed managing director of Hammer GmbH. His KG power of attorney had ended on 22 November 2021.
Data availability
Full. The register shows current and former office-holders with entry dates. It does not record nationality, so nationality is not disclosed. The register prints also give dates of birth and towns of residence, which are left out here on purpose.

Group Structure
Group structure of Hammer GmbH & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft
The only corporate relationship the register confirms for Hammer GmbH & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft is with its general partner, Hammer GmbH (AG Aachen HRB 7007). Under its articles, Hammer GmbH runs a transport, forwarding and logistics business, and it may act as general partner of partnerships, “in particular of Hammer GmbH & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft”. Its register sheet is current and records share capital of DEM 50,000. Being general partner gives Hammer GmbH unlimited liability and the power to represent the partnership. It does not by itself mean Hammer GmbH owns any capital in the KG, and the register records no contribution for it.
The company’s website presents it as the lead company of a “Hammer Group” based in Aachen. The site lists Hammer Road Cargo GmbH & Co. KG, Hammer Service GmbH & Co. KG, Hammer & Co. GmbH, LANDO Eurasia GmbH, Martello Immobilienmanagement GmbH & Co. KG, HammerBox Aachen GmbH & Co. KG, Red-line Travel GmbH and Redline by Hammer GmbH & Co. KG. A shared brand does not prove ownership, and none of these links was checked in a register. They are not presented here as parents or subsidiaries. The site also gives undated group-wide figures: about 700 employees, access to 350 vehicles and annual revenue of EUR 135 million. These are the group’s own figures, not those of this partnership.

| Hammer GmbH | Germany | HRB 7007, Amtsgericht Aachen | General partner (persönlich haftende Gesellschafterin) | No capital contribution registered; ownership percentage not disclosed | Current | 21 Oct 2026 (register print) |
Data availability
Partial. The German register publishes a KG’s general partner but not the ownership links between companies that share a brand. The provider’s group tree for this record holds only the company itself.
