German company database: company addresses in 15 industries

On request: we compile the export for your selection and tell you beforehand what can be delivered – with scope, data status and price. We do not yet publish our own figures or fixed prices per industry. Company data from other countries: EU and other countries.

Each industry card shows the figure from official statistics: how many businesses there are in Germany in exactly the industry’s economic activities (Destatis, business register, GENESIS table 52111-0010, reference year 2024, table updated 21 September 2026; e-commerce: class 47.91 from table 48112-0002; agriculture and municipalities: other Destatis tables). The industry page explains the definition. In total, the statistics count 3,543,865 businesses in Germany as legal units for 2024 (Destatis, business register 2024). With filters by region and contact fields, a list is smaller; we state the scope of your selection in the quote.

We quote the price on request for your specific selection, together with scope and data status. You receive a file for permanent use, not a subscription. All prices are final prices. How to compare offers is explained in the guide Buying company addresses: what to check.

As CSV in UTF-8 with a semicolon as the delimiter, or as an Excel file (XLSX) or JSON on request. The 15 planned columns and a sample file with fictitious companies are on the export page.

Which sources we use for Germany on a lasting basis is currently under legal review. Candidates are details that businesses publish themselves, for example in their legal notice (Impressum) under § 5 DDG. The commercial register and the company register can be inspected entry by entry under § 9 HGB; we do not plan any bulk transfer of register data without a legal basis. We never fill an empty field with an estimate. What applies to each source: Data sources and methodology.

By email only with the recipient’s prior express consent – under § 7(2) no. 2 UWG this applies towards businesses as well, and a list contains no consent. Phone advertising to businesses requires at least presumed consent (§ 7(2) no. 1 UWG). Postal advertising is unlawful if the recipient has made clear that they do not want it (§ 7(1), second sentence, UWG).

The data is therefore suitable for postal advertising, prepared phone outreach, CRM matching and market analysis. More: B2B cold outreach in Germany: what § 7 UWG allows. The legal review of your campaign is your responsibility.

Selection by federal state and district is supported; we derive both from the business address. The postcode is a column in the export that you can sort and filter by yourself. What counts is the registered address of the business, not its area of operation.

In the federal states’ joint register portal you can look up a single company free of charge; there are no lists by industry and region there, and phone number, website and industry code are not in the register. A company list brings this information together in one table. What the register contains: German commercial register: which company data is public.
