Officers
3
Two of the 3 officer records shown for Kösters GmbH & Co. KG are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Ewald Franz Kösters (appointed 2004-01-23) and Rheine Kösters (appointed 2007-10-30) both serve as Limited Partner. The remaining 1 record shown (Bernhard Meyer) is a former appointment that has since been resigned.
Management authority at Kösters GmbH & Co. KG 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
Kösters GmbH & Co. KG has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 1 subsidiary 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.
Those 1 subsidiary spans 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. One of the 1 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
