Directors and officers of MDR Media GmbH
Three of the 11 officer records shown for MDR Media GmbH are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Wolf-dieter Jacobi serves as Geschäftsführer (managing director); Barbara Ottow and Dirk Kretzschmar both serve as Officer. The remaining 8 records shown (Uwe Geißler, Jürgen Vogel-Jahn and 5 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at MDR Media 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.
