Radio Hamburg GmbH & Co. KG
Radio Hamburg GmbH & Co. KG is a German limited partnership (GmbH & Co. KG) registered in the commercial register of the Amtsgericht Hamburg under registration number HRA 80010 (EUID DEK1101R.HRA80010), with a company registration date on file from 1984. The registry currently records the company’s status as active. Its registered address is Spitalerstraße 10, Semperhaus A, 20095 Hamburg.
The company operates Radio Hamburg, a licensed private commercial radio station serving the Hamburg metropolitan area. Launched on 31 December 1986, it was the first private radio broadcaster in Hamburg and one of the earliest private stations in West Germany. The station broadcasts a hot adult-contemporary music format under the slogan “Mehr Musik, mehr Vielfalt” (“More music, more diversity”). Its programming reaches audiences on FM at 103.6 MHz — moved from 104.0 MHz in September 2020 — as well as via DAB+ digital radio, live streaming, smart-speaker applications and mobile apps. Broadcast operations are based at the Semperhaus building in central Hamburg, the same building recorded as the company’s registered address, which the station has used since August 2008.
As a licensed private broadcaster, Radio Hamburg GmbH & Co. KG’s programme content is subject to German state media supervision; the company’s managing director is separately designated as the person responsible for programme content under Section 18 of the Medienstaatsvertrag (Interstate Media Treaty). No stock-exchange listing or ticker applies to the company. No independently verifiable company-level revenue or employee figures for Radio Hamburg GmbH & Co. KG were located in filed accounts, official announcements or reputable news sources at the time of research, and no such figures are presented here.

Shareholders of Radio Hamburg GmbH & Co. KG
Radio Hamburg GmbH & Co. KG discloses four limited partners (Kommanditisten) holding its full reported capital as of September 2026: Axel Springer Audio GmbH (approximately 36.8%), RTL Radio Deutschland GmbH (approximately 30.7%), Heinrich Bauer Verlag KG (approximately 26.3%) and Lühmanndruck Harburger Zeitungsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG (approximately 6.1%). These holdings are corroborated by independent commercial-register data aggregation showing the same four companies as the entity’s limited partners. Earlier public reporting associated a broadly similar structure with Axel Springer SE, RTL Group, Heinrich Bauer Verlag KG, Lühmanndruck Harburger Zeitungsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG and, separately, Morgenpost Verlag GmbH at slightly different percentages, suggesting the shareholding has been adjusted or consolidated since that earlier reporting; no official filing documenting the specific change was located. The company’s general partner (Komplementär), Radio Hamburg Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH, does not appear among the disclosed capital holders, consistent with the standard German GmbH & Co. KG structure in which the general partner typically holds no capital share.
Data availability
Disclosure of Radio Hamburg GmbH & Co. KG’s limited partners and their capital percentages is full and sourced from commercial-register filings. No ultimate beneficial owner meeting a defined percentage threshold could be reliably identified or calculated, since each disclosed limited partner is itself a corporate entity within a larger media group and no complete natural-person ownership chain was verified from public sources.

Group Structure
Group structure of Radio Hamburg GmbH & Co. KG
Radio Hamburg GmbH & Co. KG is organized as a German limited partnership rather than as part of a single-parent corporate group. Its personally liable general partner (Komplementär) is Radio Hamburg Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH (HRB 33171, Amtsgericht Hamburg), alongside an individually liable partner, Sven-Olof Reimers. Its capital is held by four limited partners — Axel Springer Audio GmbH, RTL Radio Deutschland GmbH, Heinrich Bauer Verlag KG and Lühmanndruck Harburger Zeitungsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG — none of which was confirmed to hold a majority or otherwise controlling stake, so no immediate or ultimate parent company could be verified. No direct or indirect subsidiaries of Radio Hamburg GmbH & Co. KG were confirmed from official sources as of September 2026.
A Hamburg-registered radio advertising-sales company, MORE Marketing Organisation und Radioentwicklungs GmbH & Co. KG (HRA 93233), shares Radio Hamburg’s registered address and managing director, and represents advertising sales for Radio Hamburg together with several other independent Hamburg-area radio stations. This is a commercial service relationship rather than a verified ownership link, so it is not presented here as a subsidiary or affiliate under a capital-ownership definition.
Verified corporate relationships
No parent, subsidiary or sister-company relationship meeting the verification standard above was identified from official sources.
Data availability
Corporate-linkage information for Radio Hamburg GmbH & Co. KG is partial: commercial-register filings confirm the general partner and the limited partners’ capital shares, but no filing was found establishing a controlling parent company or verified subsidiaries. The absence of such filings is not evidence that no such relationships exist.
