Officers
5
Four of the 5 officer records shown for Margarete Steiff GmbH are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Ralf Holz (appointed 2022-09-16) and Frank Rheinboldt both serve as Geschäftsführer (managing director); Manfred Pechler (appointed 2006-11-29) and Kurt Heinrich Heißwolf (appointed 2014-05-23) both serve as Officer. The remaining 1 record shown (Dirk Petermann) is a former appointment that has since been resigned.
The register reports 15 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.
Management authority at Margarete Steiff GmbH 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
Margarete Steiff GmbH sits 1 level below its ultimate parent, Steiff Beteiligungsges. mbH, registered in Germany. 6 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 4 jurisdictions. The full chain up to Steiff Beteiligungsges. mbH is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by Margarete Steiff GmbH's own shareholder record. 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 6 subsidiaries span Germany, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, United States jurisdictions, 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 6 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
