Vodafone GmbH
Vodafone GmbH is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in Germany under HRB 38062 Düsseldorf, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. Its registered address on file is Düsseldorf, Germany. 2 shareholders are on record for Vodafone 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 Vodafone GmbH
Two shareholders are currently on record for Vodafone GmbH, held on the Gesellschafterliste (shareholder list), filed under §40 of the GmbHG. The largest of these is Vodafone Europe B.V., holding 90% — a majority holding — followed by Vodafone Europe B.V. at 10%.

Directors and officers of Vodafone GmbH
The Geschäftsführer (managing director) of Vodafone GmbH currently on record is Marcel De Groot; 108 of the 342 officer records shown for Vodafone GmbH are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). The remaining 233 records shown (Julian Horn-Smith, Thomas Otto Geitner and 227 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at Vodafone 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.

Those 6 subsidiaries span Germany jurisdiction, 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.
