Westdeutsche Zeitung GmbH & Co. KG
Westdeutsche Zeitung GmbH & Co. KG is a registered legal entity registered in Germany under HRA 24055 Wuppertal, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. Its registered address on file is Wuppertal, Germany. 1 shareholder is on record for Westdeutsche Zeitung GmbH & Co. KG, 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 28 October 2026.

Officers
5
Three of the 5 officer records shown for Westdeutsche Zeitung GmbH & Co. KG are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Oliver Moll (appointed 2019-02-14), Sabine Junker (appointed 2019-10-31) and Marc Jacobi (appointed 2023-01-04) all serve as Officer. The remaining 2 records shown (Jürgen Schneider and Björn Knippen) are former appointments that have since been resigned.
The register reports 18 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.
Management authority at Westdeutsche Zeitung GmbH & Co. KG 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.
Group Structure
Westdeutsche Zeitung GmbH & Co. KG sits 1 level below its ultimate parent, GIRARDET Verlag KG, registered in Germany. 5 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 1 jurisdiction. Immediately above Westdeutsche Zeitung GmbH & Co. KG is GIRARDET Verlag KG, holding 100% as filed in Westdeutsche Zeitung GmbH & Co. KG's own shareholder record with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). 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.
Those 5 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 5 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
