Local court in Halle – commercial register

The local court in Halle maintains the commercial register for the Halle region. Halle (Saale) is home to Martin Luther University and numerous pharmaceutical and chemical businesses around the Buna/Leuna cluster. The local transport company, housing companies and research institutions such as the Leopoldina headquarters make the city an administrative and scientific centre of central Germany.

Please note: written and telephone commercial register enquiries for Saxony-Anhalt are handled centrally by Stendal local court for the entire Naumburg higher regional court district. We obtain extracts for companies in Halle directly from the competent register court.

Halle as a business location

Halle (Saale) is a central German administrative and scientific centre. Mitteldeutsches Verlags- und Druckhaus, Leopoldina (National Academy of Sciences headquarters), Hallesche Krankenversicherung, IFA Aerodyne and Mitteldeutsche Refraktärwerke (MRW) shape its economy. Dow, TotalEnergies and Linde operate in the nearby Buna/Leuna chemical park (outside the Halle local court’s seat but economically connected). Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design, Fraunhofer CSP (solar technology) and Halle-Trotha port on the Saale canal make Halle a diverse economic region.

Jurisdiction

The local court in Halle maintains commercial register A (HRA) for sole traders, general partnerships (OHG) and limited partnerships (KG), and commercial register B (HRB) for limited liability companies (GmbH), stock corporations (AG) and European companies (SE). The central German chemical and pharmaceutical centre and university city is an important registration location. Because the state’s commercial register is maintained in Stendal, HRB volume in Halle itself is low; the local court remains responsible for local judicial matters.
