Local court in Bonn – commercial register

The local court in Bonn maintains the commercial register for the Bonn region. With Deutsche Telekom, Deutsche Post DHL and Postbank, Bonn hosts two DAX and one MDAX company. After the federal government moved to Berlin, the city developed into Germany’s United Nations location, with 20 UN organisations.

Bonn as a business location

Bonn has successfully diversified since the capital moved. Deutsche Telekom (DAX), Deutsche Post DHL Group (DAX) and Postbank sustain its role as a headquarters location. More than 20 UN organisations around the UN Campus, Deutsche Welle, the SolarWorld legacy and a growing IT consulting cluster (Capgemini, T-Systems) add to this base. The University of Bonn, DLR Cologne–Bonn and the Caesar research centre shape its scientific profile. Bonn is also a publishing centre (Bundesanzeiger, beck.de) and home to many foundations, including Friedrich Ebert, Konrad Adenauer and Heinrich Böll.
