Germany filings & disclosures.

Every annual, interim and ad-hoc report from 801 German listed companies - searchable, structured, free for the web. Same dataset, available via the API.

Public-company filings in Germany are supervised by Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin). Reporting follows IFRS (consolidated); HGB (separate). Filings are most commonly published in German and English. Major issuers are listed on DAX 40, MDAX and SDAX. Calendar year (majority); some Sept year-end.

Disclosure in Germany - what gets published, by whom, when

Germany operates one of Europe's most disclosure-dense regulatory regimes. Listed issuers report to BaFin (Federal Financial Supervisory Authority) under the EU Transparency Directive, and ad-hoc disclosures are routed through the statutory federal gazette and the company's chosen distribution provider. Annual reports are filed in machine-readable iXBRL under the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF) mandate, alongside the legacy PDF copy.

The German filings calendar is dominated by the calendar-year cycle: the bulk of Geschäftsberichte (annual reports) for prior-year financials lands between February and April, with semi-annual and Q1/Q3 interim reports clustered around mid-year and late-October. Ad-hoc disclosures (price-sensitive announcements under MAR Article 17) arrive continuously and are the largest by volume. FinancialReports indexes all four classes - annual, interim, ad-hoc, and supplemental disclosures (insider transactions, voting-rights notifications) - within roughly one minute of publication, regulator-direct, deduplicated, and normalised to a single canonical record.

Accounting follows IFRS for consolidated financials and HGB (Handelsgesetzbuch / German Commercial Code) for separate-entity financials, so most DAX-, MDAX-, and SDAX-listed groups publish a dual set. Filing language is overwhelmingly German; an English version is available for almost all DAX 40 issuers and a majority of MDAX, but smaller-cap and Scale-segment filings are German-only. The dataset preserves both languages where present and exposes language metadata on every filing for downstream filtering.

For analysts, the practical upshot is that Germany delivers a deep historical archive (consolidated IFRS statements going back to 2005, interim and ad-hoc disclosures further) plus a high-throughput live feed. The platform exposes filings as JSON metadata, Markdown content (the same text rendered on the public web pages), and original PDF / iXBRL - pick the format that matches your pipeline.
