German register entries are officially announced, and those announcements carry legal weight of their own. The publications document (VÖ) lists what was announced about a company and when.

A register entry becomes effective against third parties through its publication — a departed managing director may still bind the company while the change is unannounced, and creditor protection periods often start with the announcement, not the entry. The VÖ document collects these publication events for one company so you can pin dates precisely.
That precision is unobtainable from the current extract alone, which shows the state but not the publication trail.
Read together, a company's publications sketch its register activity at a glance: frequent management changes, quick successions of capital measures or a recent dissolution announcement are risk signals that credit and compliance teams act on.
Order the VÖ as an add-on with any German company: it arrives by email with your current extract — one-time payment, no account, no subscription.
Under German commercial law (§ 15 HGB), whether third parties can rely on — or are bound by — a register fact depends on its announcement. Proving when a change was published can decide liability questions, which is exactly what the VÖ document evidences.
The announcement texts for the company's register entries — first registration, director changes, capital measures, dissolution — each with its publication date, as a chronological listing.
Lawyers arguing reliance and apparent-authority questions, creditors computing statutory periods that run from announcement (for example after a dissolution), and analysts monitoring how actively a company's register record changes.
