Professional partnership register (PartG)

By the e-handelsregisterauszug.de editorial team · Published · Reviewed

The Partnerschaftsregister records professional partnerships formed by members of liberal professions. A PartG differs from an OHG, GmbH and civil-law partnership.

Meaning and context

Its name may include Partnerschaft or und Partner. A partnership with limited professional liability uses an additional designation such as mbB. This does not indicate a blanket limitation of all liabilities.

What the documents show

The register records details including name, seat, partners, professions and representation. Professional authorisation and specific liability conditions cannot be assessed from a shortened search result alone.

Research tip

Use the professional partnership register number and court. For representation, read the full registered rule and distinguish partner status from any separately granted authority.
