KÖTTER Fire & Service GmbH & Co. KG
Company overview
KÖTTER Fire & Service GmbH & Co. KG is a German limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft) registered with the commercial register (Handelsregister) of the Amtsgericht Essen under number HRA 9838. Public commercial-register sources record the registration date as 9 July 2012. The registered office is at Wilhelm-Beckmann-Straße 7, 45307 Essen, Germany, and the current registry status is active.
The company’s registered business purpose is the provision of services connected with fire protection and fire-fighting, including operating factory and works fire brigades (Werkfeuerwehr) for industrial and commercial sites, together with associated fire-safety training. It operates as the fire-safety and works-fire-brigade services unit within the wider KÖTTER group, a privately held, family-associated German group of companies headquartered in Essen that also provides security, security-technology, cleaning and personnel services under the KÖTTER name.
KÖTTER Fire & Service GmbH & Co. KG is privately held and is not listed on any stock exchange. Its principal public web presence is https://www.koetter.de/, which is the corporate website of the wider KÖTTER group rather than a site dedicated solely to this entity; no separate website specific to KÖTTER Fire & Service was independently identified.
As a private subsidiary, KÖTTER Fire & Service GmbH & Co. KG does not separately publish revenue, headcount or other financial figures. The KÖTTER group discloses only consolidated, group-wide figures in its own public material (for example, approximately EUR 571 million in revenue and around 17,600 employees across more than 50 German locations, reported for financial year 2020); these are group-level figures and should not be read as describing this individual entity.

Shareholders of KÖTTER Fire & Service GmbH & Co. KG
Commercial-register data reviewed for this entity shows one disclosed capital shareholder (Kommanditist / limited partner): KÖTTER SE & Co. KG Security, based in Hamburg (Handelsregister Hamburg, HRA 86704), previously registered under the name Kötter GmbH & Co. KG Security. This limited partner holds 100% of the company’s recorded capital, a nominal (Kommanditeinlage) shareholding of EUR 250,000 in ordinary shares, per register-derived data verified as of 4 September 2026.
Separately, the company’s personally liable general partner (Komplementär) is KÖTTER Verwaltung III SE, registered in Essen (Handelsregister Essen, HRB 26750), appointed general partner on 27 January 2016. As is typical for a GmbH & Co. KG / SE & Co. KG structure, the general partner does not hold a capital share in the partnership; its role is to bear unlimited personal liability and to provide management authority on behalf of the partnership.
Both the limited partner and the general partner are themselves corporate entities within the wider KÖTTER group rather than natural persons. This disclosure therefore represents the direct corporate ownership layer only, not the individuals who ultimately control the group.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No natural-person ultimate beneficial owner is identified in the public commercial-register extracts reviewed for KÖTTER Fire & Service GmbH & Co. KG, and no German Transparenzregister (beneficial-ownership register) filing was accessed as part of this review. The wider KÖTTER group describes itself, in its own group-level material, as a privately and family-associated business connected to the Kötter family, with Martina Kötter serving as a managing director of the group’s central administrative entity, KÖTTER GmbH & Co. KG Verwaltungsdienstleistungen (Handelsregister Essen, HRA 6316). This is reported at group level only; no source reviewed calculates or discloses an individual’s effective ownership percentage specifically in KÖTTER Fire & Service GmbH & Co. KG, so no UBO percentage can be stated for this entity.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for this entity is classified as major shareholder only / partial: the direct corporate limited partner and general partner are identified and their roles are confirmed through the commercial register, but natural-person beneficial ownership is not publicly disclosed at the transparency-register level in the sources reviewed. This should not be read as evidence that no beneficial owner exists.

Directors and officers of KÖTTER Fire & Service GmbH & Co. KG
Commercial-register data reviewed for KÖTTER Fire & Service GmbH & Co. KG shows two currently active authorised signatories (Prokuristen) and one former authorised signatory. Marcel Bröder was appointed as an authorised signatory on 24 October 2017 and remains recorded as active. Ronny Schwarz was appointed as an authorised signatory on 13 November 2020 and was recorded as active in register data dated 8 September 2026; KÖTTER Services separately announced, via its own corporate channel, that a Ronny Schwarz associated with the company died unexpectedly in 2026 at the age of 48, which is consistent with a further commercial-register update recorded for this entity on 10 March 2026. Andreas Ulbricht held an authorised-signatory appointment from 17 March 2016 until his resignation, recorded as effective 20 October 2022.
No natural person is recorded in the reviewed data as a managing director (Geschäftsführer) of KÖTTER Fire & Service GmbH & Co. KG in its own right; management authority over the partnership is instead exercised through its general partner, KÖTTER Verwaltung III SE (see Group structure, below). Nationality is not disclosed for any of the individuals named above; the country recorded against each appointment (Germany) is a registered correspondence/address country only and must not be read as a statement of nationality or residence.
Recent officer changes
- Resignation: Andreas Ulbricht ceased to act as authorised signatory, effective 20 October 2022 (Handelsregister, Amtsgericht Essen, HRA 9838).
- Death in service: Ronny Schwarz, authorised signatory since 13 November 2020, was reported by KÖTTER Services as having died unexpectedly in 2026 at the age of 48; a related commercial-register update was recorded on 10 March 2026.
Data availability
Officer disclosure for this entity is classified as partial: the German commercial register discloses appointed authorised signatories and their appointment or resignation dates, but it does not publish nationality, country of residence or full dates of birth, and no managing director is recorded directly against this partnership. This should not be read as evidence that the company lacks management oversight; authority is exercised through its general partner.

Group Structure
Group structure of KÖTTER Fire & Service GmbH & Co. KG
KÖTTER Fire & Service GmbH & Co. KG is not an independent company. Commercial-register data reviewed for this entity shows its capital is 100% held by KÖTTER SE & Co. KG Security, based in Hamburg (Handelsregister Hamburg, HRA 86704), which functions as its immediate corporate parent (limited partner). The partnership’s general partner and manager, KÖTTER Verwaltung III SE (Handelsregister Essen, HRB 26750), also acts as general partner for other limited partnerships within the same group, including KÖTTER SE & Co. KG Security itself, based on that entity’s registered business purpose.
Both entities operate under the wider KÖTTER group name, a privately held German group headquartered in Essen that also includes separately registered entities for security services, security technology, cleaning and personnel services, including KÖTTER GmbH & Co. KG Verwaltungsdienstleistungen (Handelsregister Essen, HRA 6316), which serves as the group’s central administrative entity. No single verified ultimate parent company was identified for KÖTTER Fire & Service GmbH & Co. KG from the public register sources reviewed; the group instead appears to be structured as a network of sister limited partnerships administered through a small number of KÖTTER “Verwaltung” general-partner entities. No subsidiaries of KÖTTER Fire & Service GmbH & Co. KG itself were identified.

Data availability
Corporate-linkage information for this entity is classified as partial: the immediate limited partner and general partner are identified through German commercial-register data, but no single verified ultimate parent was confirmed, and no independent subsidiaries of this entity were found. This reflects the group’s decentralised partnership structure rather than a confirmed absence of a wider ownership chain.
