Live, real-time queries to **Handelsregister** (Germany). Drops the OpenRegistry MCP toolset onto a single-country workflow when the user names Handelsregister, the country, or its registry directly. ID format: Court-prefixed Handelsregister number (e.g. `HRB 123456 B` Berlin, `HRB 12345 München`). Returns the registry's response unmodified — every field name, status string, and filing byte preserved verbatim. Use this skill when the user explicitly mentions: German company, Handelsregister, AG, GmbH, KG, German limited, Bundesanzeiger, who owns this German company, beneficial owner Germany, deutsche Firma. KYC Germany, AML Germany, due diligence Germany, company search Germany.

Germany — Handelsregister Lookup

description

Germany — Handelsregister Lookup

Live, direct-to-government access to Gemeinsames Registerportal der Länder — Handelsregister (Amtsgericht Registergerichte der 16 Länder).

Single-country variant of the cross-border Cross-Border UBO Chain Walker. Use this skill when the user is explicitly focused on Germany.

What you get

Direct query to Handelsregister. Every tool call hits Gemeinsames Registerportal der Länder — Handelsregister (Amtsgericht Registergerichte der 16 Länder) at the moment you ask. No nightly scrape, no aggregator middle layer.
Unmodified responses. Field names, status codes, and (where available) raw filing bytes are returned exactly as the registry's own system emits them.
Native ID format support. Court-prefixed Handelsregister number (e.g. HRB 123456 B Berlin, HRB 12345 München).
Sample entity: Deutsche Bank AG.

Available tools (jurisdiction = `DE`)

search_companies, get_company_profile, list_filings, get_officers, get_shareholders, get_document_metadata, fetch_document

For every tool, pass jurisdiction: "DE" (case-insensitive).

Example prompts

Pull the latest annual report for Deutsche Bank AG and extract the iXBRL financial statements

List the directors of Volkswagen AG from Handelsregister

What's the legal shareholder structure of Allianz SE? (Note: not UBO — see notes)

Workflow

Step 1 — Resolve the entity

search_companies({ jurisdiction: "DE", query: "<name or ID>" })
get_company_profile({ jurisdiction: "DE", company_id: "<id>" })

Step 2 — Pull the relevant register slice

Pick from the available tools list above. For UBO walks across borders, return to the Cross-Border UBO Chain Walker.

Quirks specific to Germany

Post CJEU C-37/20 (Nov 2022) — the Transparenzregister (Germany's UBO register) became access-restricted to AML-obliged entities. get_persons_with_significant_control is not available for DE. Use get_shareholders for legal-shareholder data, but note shareholders ≠ beneficial owners.
Handelsregister filings are mainly iXBRL annual reports (Bundesanzeiger). fetch_document returns raw bytes.
Court (Amtsgericht) prefixes the HRB number — region matters for disambiguation.
Liechtenstein and Austria HRs are separate from this — see those skills.

Underlying MCP server: https://openregistry.sophymarine.com/mcp

Retrieve the filing history of a known company — every document the company has filed with its national registry, with filing_date, category, description, and a document_id you can pass to read the specific filing's content. Use when the user asks 'what did X file', 'list X's filings', 'recent filings for X', 'has X filed accounts this year', 'history of changes at X', or 'is there a charge / officer / resolution filing for X'. Returns metadata only; the actual filing bytes come from a follow-up fetch_document call. Requires a known company_id.

get-financials

sophymarine/openregistry

Pull the most recent annual accounts of a known company and extract the headline financial figures: revenue / turnover, operating profit, net income, total assets, equity, cash, and (where filed) employee count. Source is the registry's filing archive, raw iXBRL / XBRL / PDF bytes. Use when the user asks 'what's the revenue of X', 'how profitable is X', 'pull X's latest accounts', 'read X's annual report', 'what does X's balance sheet say', 'EBITDA of X', or 'turnover of X'. Requires a known company_id.

2026-05-1213

get-shareholder-details

sophymarine/openregistry

Retrieve the registered shareholders, members, or quota-holders of a known company — the statutory equity roster as published by the national company registry. Use when the user asks 'who owns X', 'who are the shareholders of X', 'list the members of X', 'show me the cap table for X', or 'who holds equity in X'. Important: shareholders are NOT the same as beneficial owners / PSCs / UBOs (see edge cases). Requires a known company_id.

2026-05-1213

get-director-details

sophymarine/openregistry

Retrieve the current and historical officers of a known company — directors, secretaries, board members, partners, with roles, appointment dates, and (where the registry publishes them) resignation dates. Use when the user asks 'who are the directors of X', 'who runs X', 'who is on the board of X', 'list officers of X', or 'who resigned from X'. Requires a known company_id; if the user only gave a name, run find-company first.

2026-05-1213

find-company

sophymarine/openregistry

Verify a specific company exists in its national government registry and capture its core identity: current status (active / dissolved / inactive), incorporation date, registered address, and registry-assigned ID. Use when the user asks 'is X a real company', 'is X active', 'find Acme Ltd', 'what's the registry ID of X', or 'verify this counterparty's existence'. Returns identity only — directors, shareholders, filings, and documents are separate skills.

australia-abr-asic-lookup

sophymarine/openregistry

Live, real-time queries to **Australian Business Register (ABR — ABN Lookup)** (Australia). Drops the OpenRegistry MCP toolset onto a single-country workflow when the user names ABR / ASIC, the country, or its registry directly. ID format: 11-digit ABN or 9-digit ACN (e.g. ABN `33 123 456 789`, ACN `004 028 077` for BHP Group Limited). Returns the registry's response unmodified — every field name, status string, and filing byte preserved verbatim. Use this skill when the user explicitly mentions: Australian company, ABN, ACN, ABR, ABN Lookup, ASIC, Pty Ltd, Australian Pty Ltd, Australian SA, Aussie company, who owns this Australian company. KYC Australia, AML Australia, due diligence Australia, company search Australia.
