Springer-Verlag GmbH
Springer-Verlag GmbH is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in Germany under HRB 91881 B Charlottenburg (Berlin), and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. The company was incorporated on 13 November 2002 and lists its registered address as Berlin, Germany. 1 shareholder is on record for Springer-Verlag GmbH, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Handelsregister (Commercial Register) and was last updated on 25 September 2026.

Shareholders of Springer-Verlag GmbH
One shareholder is currently on record for Springer-Verlag GmbH, held on the Gesellschafterliste (shareholder list), filed under §40 of the GmbHG.

Officers
43
Directors and officers of Springer-Verlag GmbH
The Geschäftsführer (managing director) of Springer-Verlag GmbH currently on record is Niels Peter Thomas; 11 of the 43 officer records shown for Springer-Verlag GmbH are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). The remaining 31 records shown (Derk Johan Haank, Martin Peter Mos and 29 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at Springer-Verlag 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.
Data availability
The register reports 44 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 43 most relevant records are shown here.
Group Structure
Group structure of Springer-Verlag GmbH
Springer-Verlag GmbH sits 9 levels below its ultimate parent, Georg von Holtzbrinck GmbH & Co.KG, registered in Germany. 6 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 2 jurisdictions. Immediately above Springer-Verlag GmbH is Springer Nature Three GmbH, holding 100% as filed in Springer-Verlag GmbH's own shareholder record with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Georg von Holtzbrinck GmbH & Co.KG sits further up the chain, a link derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions rather than stated in a single document. 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.

Data availability
Those 6 subsidiaries span Germany, Italy 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. Two of the 6 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
