Radio rur GmbH
Radio rur GmbH is a private limited company (GmbH) registered in Germany under registration number HRB 2397 at the Amtsgericht Düren, with its registered address at Gutenbergstraße 12, 52349 Düren, North Rhine-Westphalia. The company was entered into the commercial register in 2002 and remains listed as active.
Radio rur GmbH acts as the general partner (Komplementärin) of Radio rur GmbH & Co. KG, the operating company for Radio Rur, a private local radio station serving the Kreis Düren region of North Rhine-Westphalia. Radio Rur has broadcast since 19 September 1992 and transmits on 92.7 MHz and 107.5 MHz FM, alongside a webradio stream and smartphone app. The station carries around four hours of local news and programming daily, drawing on the shared NRW framework programme supplied by Radio NRW, and covers the towns and districts of Düren, Jülich and the Rureifel.
Broadcast licensing responsibility for the programme sits with the Veranstaltergemeinschaft für lokalen Rundfunk im Kreis Düren e.V., a licensee association, under the supervision of the Landesanstalt für Medien Nordrhein-Westfalen (LfM), reflecting the two-pillar (Zwei-Säulen) model used for private local radio in North Rhine-Westphalia. Radio rur GmbH itself is not the broadcast licensee but provides the operating and management function for the licensed programme.
The station’s editorial and administrative offices relocated to Gutenbergstraße 12 in northern Düren in September 2020, having previously operated from the Pleßmühle site. No stock-exchange listing, consolidated financial results or employee headcount for Radio rur GmbH are publicly disclosed.

Shareholders of Radio rur GmbH
According to the German commercial register (Handelsregister, Amtsgericht Düren, HRB 2397), as summarised in a register-aggregator extract (Northdata), the current shareholder of record for Radio rur GmbH is DuMont Mediengruppe GmbH & Co. KG, recorded as of 30 January 2026. Radio rur GmbH’s share capital is EUR 26,000. The exact ownership percentage held by DuMont Mediengruppe GmbH & Co. KG is not disclosed in the publicly accessible extract reviewed. Earlier register history shows the shareholding was previously recorded under Mediengruppe M. DuMont Schauberg GmbH & Co. KG and related predecessor entities, consistent with a later rebranding of the DuMont media group’s holding structure.
Radio rur GmbH is itself the general partner (Komplementärin) of the affiliated Radio rur GmbH & Co. KG, the entity that operates the Radio Rur local radio station; this is a management and representation relationship, not a share ownership of Radio rur GmbH by the KG. A previously cached, provider-supplied data field associated with this company record stated that Radio rur GmbH & Co. KG holds 100% of Radio rur GmbH’s share capital. This could not be corroborated against the register data reviewed, appears to confuse the KG (a related entity) with the actual registered shareholder, DuMont Mediengruppe GmbH & Co. KG, and has been disregarded.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for German GmbH entities via the Handelsregister is generally available, but the extract reviewed here is Major shareholders only: it identifies the current shareholder of record without disclosing the ownership percentage. No individual ultimate beneficial owner could be reliably identified from the public sources reviewed, so no UBO section is included.

Directors and officers of Radio rur GmbH
Register data reviewed for Radio rur GmbH (Handelsregister, Amtsgericht Düren, HRB 2397, via a Northdata extract) shows one currently registered managing director (Geschäftsführer): Ralph Steinhausen. A previous managing director, Dietmar Henkel, is recorded in the register history as no longer holding the appointment. Trade-press reporting (radioWOCHE, 13 September 2022) independently confirms that Ralph Steinhausen succeeded Dietmar Henkel as managing director of the DuMont group’s local-radio operating companies, including Radio rur GmbH, with effect from 1 October 2022; this differs from the specific date shown in the register extract reviewed, which may instead reflect a later filing or re-registration rather than the effective start of the role. Nationality, country of residence and occupation are not disclosed in the sources reviewed.
Radio rur GmbH’s own website (Impressum, retrieved 24 September 2026) separately names Ralph Steinhausen and Uwe Peltzer as Geschäftsführer of the affiliated Radio rur GmbH & Co. KG. Public sources reviewed do not confirm whether Mr Peltzer also holds a formal managing-director appointment at Radio rur GmbH (HRB 2397) itself, so he is not listed here as a registered officer of this specific entity. A previously cached, provider-supplied officer field associated with this company record contained no usable data (an API access-limit error message rather than officer records) and has been disregarded.
Recent officer changes
- Change of managing director: Ralph Steinhausen succeeded Dietmar Henkel as Geschäftsführer, reported effective 1 October 2022 (source: radioWOCHE, 13 September 2022); the register extract reviewed records a related entry dated 13 March 2025.
Data availability
German commercial register filings publish current, and to a more limited extent historical, managing-director appointments for GmbH entities, but do not disclose nationality, residence or occupation. The information here is Partial: it covers the current and one former managing director, but company-level confirmation of Mr Peltzer’s exact role at Radio rur GmbH (HRB 2397) specifically was not available.

Group Structure
Group structure of Radio rur GmbH
Radio rur GmbH is not without a verified corporate owner: the German commercial register (Amtsgericht Düren, HRB 2397, via a Northdata extract) records DuMont Mediengruppe GmbH & Co. KG as the current shareholder of record, as of 30 January 2026, functioning as the immediate parent for share-ownership purposes; no ownership percentage is disclosed.

It does act as the general partner (Komplementärin) of the affiliated Radio rur GmbH & Co. KG (Amtsgericht Düren, HRA 1629), the operating partnership for the Radio Rur local radio station; this is a management and representation relationship rather than a subsidiary relationship, and is best described as a related/affiliate entity. Both entities share the registered address at Gutenbergstraße 12, 52349 Düren.

Data availability
Corporate-linkage information for Radio rur GmbH is Partial: the current shareholder of record is identified, but the ownership percentage and any entities above DuMont Mediengruppe GmbH & Co. KG in the ownership chain are not disclosed in the sources reviewed. A previously cached data field describing Radio rur GmbH & Co. KG as owning 100% of Radio rur GmbH could not be corroborated and has been disregarded as a likely data-matching error between similarly named "GmbH & Co. KG" entities.
