Local court in Lübeck – commercial register

The local court in Lübeck maintains the commercial register for the Lübeck region. Lübeck is Germany’s largest Baltic port city, home to Niederegger (marzipan), Drägerwerk (medical technology) and a Hanseatic tradition. Its UNESCO-listed old town attracts millions of tourists annually, while the port leads in Scandinavian traffic.

Lübeck as a business location

Lübeck combines maritime tradition with modern industry. Drägerwerk (medical technology, MDAX and a global ventilator market leader) is by far its largest employer. Niederegger (a global marzipan market leader), L. Possehl & Co (industrial holding company), Hansa-Heemann (mineral water) and Hanse Yachts shape its family-business profile. The port, Germany’s largest on the Baltic Sea, and Scandinavian ferry routes (TT-Line, Finnlines) make it a logistics hub. The medically oriented University of Lübeck and the UNESCO-listed old town connect research, industry and tourism in a dense economic network.
