Co się zmienia
Corporations (GmbH, UG (haftungsbeschränkt), and GmbH & Co.

Small and micro companies (Kleinstkapitalgesellschaften, §267/§267a HGB) may use reduced formats or, for micro companies, simple deposit (Hinterlegung) instead of full publication, but the 12-month deadline itself still applies.
Kogo dotyczy
GmbH, UG (haftungsbeschränkt) and other capital companies (and qualifying GmbH & Co. KG) registered in Germany; sole traders (Einzelunternehmen) and standard partnerships are generally not subject to this HGB disclosure duty.
