Articles of Organization (Gesellschaftsvertrag) are essential founding documents required under German law when establishing a GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschr盲nkter Haftung). They must be executed before a German notary and filed with the Commercial Register (Handelsregister) as part of the company formation process. The document outlines crucial elements including minimum share capital of 鈧25,000, shareholder information, management structure, and corporate purpose. It serves as the primary governing document for the company's internal affairs and external relationships, ensuring compliance with the German Limited Liability Companies Act (GmbHG). This document is particularly important as it cannot be easily amended after registration without shareholder approval and renewed notarization.
