Registered seat: Bielefeld
Register details for POT GmbH & Co. KG
The register number, the competent court, the legal form and the registered business address — the four facts that identify the company without ambiguity.
Entity identification
The key register facts
The company is registered as POT GmbH & Co. KG, a Kommanditgesellschaft, under number HRA 17064 at Amtsgericht Bielefeld. The registered seat is Bielefeld, and the business address is Goldstraße 16-18, 33602 Bielefeld, Germany. These four facts — name, number, court and address — are what you need to identify the entity unambiguously. Everything else in the register entry builds on them.
Why HRA and not HRB
The German commercial register is divided into two main sections. HRA covers partnerships, including GmbH & Co. KG entities. HRB covers corporations such as GmbHs and AGs. POT GmbH & Co. KG appears under HRA 17064. Its general partner, POT Verwaltungs-GmbH, is a corporation and therefore appears under a separate HRB entry. When you see both numbers, you are looking at the two halves of the same structure.
Two entries, one structure
Partnership entry
POT GmbH & Co. KG — HRA 17064
Registered at Amtsgericht Bielefeld as a Kommanditgesellschaft.
Corporate partner entry
POT Verwaltungs-GmbH — separate HRB entry
The general partner is a corporation and is filed in its own HRB section.
Registergericht
Amtsgericht Bielefeld
HRA 17064
Unique only within this court's jurisdiction.
Court and jurisdiction
The register court: Amtsgericht Bielefeld
The competent register court (Registergericht) is Amtsgericht Bielefeld. The court matters because register numbers are unique only within a court's jurisdiction. HRA 17064 identifies this company at Amtsgericht Bielefeld, and quoting both together removes any doubt. If you search only by number without the court, you can land on a different company elsewhere in Germany.
The registered address
The company's business address (Geschäftsanschrift) is Goldstraße 16-18, 33602 Bielefeld. The registered seat is also Bielefeld, which keeps the legal and operational location aligned. The postcode 33602 covers the Bielefeld city centre, an area with a mix of offices and commercial premises. If you are sending formal correspondence, use this address exactly as written here.

Contents of the entry
What an HRA entry contains
Recorded facts
An HRA entry for a GmbH & Co. KG typically records the company name and legal form, the registered seat, the business address, the general partner and its details, the representation rules, and the date of registration. It may also note the partnership agreement's key terms where relevant. The entry is the authoritative public record of these facts. Anything you read elsewhere should be checked against it.
Who appears
The partnership itself and its general partner are the two parties a reviewer will see across the entries.
Status
The entry is the public record; check it before relying on any summary.
Extract types and when to use them
Choose based on whether you need a snapshot, a timeline, or the original documents. If you are unsure which extract fits your process, ask us and we will point you to the right type for the check you are running.
Cross-checking through the Unternehmensregister
The Unternehmensregister is the German portal for original registry documents. It covers filings from the commercial, cooperative, company, and partnership registers. You can inspect source documents there rather than relying on a summary record. It is a standard reference point for formal company research, and it is where many reviewers go after a first look at the Handelsregister.
The register portal also carries publication data. These are the public announcements that accompany filings, and they mark changes in management, representation, address, or status. Read together, they form a timeline of the company's formal life. This is useful when you need to trace a specific change or confirm that nothing unusual has happened. It supports due diligence beyond a single snapshot.
Sources to check
- Handelsregister — the commercial register entry itself
- Unternehmensregister — original filings and source documents
- Publication data — announcements attached to filings
Compliance layer
Transparency Register and beneficial ownership
Germany's transparency register records beneficial owners and is part of the wider compliance landscape. Business users often consult it alongside the commercial register, especially when ownership or control is layered. For a GmbH & Co. KG, the relevant checks span the partnership entry, the managing GmbH entry, and the ownership information behind both. If your onboarding process requires beneficial-ownership validation, the transparency register is the place to look.
If you need a full ownership check
Start from the commercial register entry, then cross-reference the transparency register for the ownership layer behind the partnership.
If you only need the entity facts
Name, number, court and address are sufficient to identify the company — you can verify all four on this page.
Exact matching
Name similarity: why exact matching matters
Bielefeld has more than one company with a similar name. A Pott GmbH in the city is registered under Amtsgericht Bielefeld HRB 34204 and has a listed purpose in consumer-electronics trade, installation, and maintenance. That is a different entity with a different register number. The safe approach is to match on the exact legal name plus HRA 17064 and the court, not on a name that looks close in a search result.
