What's in the database
The file combines company identifiers, address details and business contact fields. It supports account selection and contact research rather than providing named decision-makers. The company, e-mail and phone totals measure different things: they do not establish that every company has every contact field populated.
Check the sample before planning an import. Registry numbers can help you match companies against existing records, while industry codes and address fields support segmentation. The table below separates included fields from information you would need to obtain elsewhere.
| Field | What's included |
|---|---|
| Company name | Included |
| Registry number | Included; useful for matching company records |
| Address | Included, with city and postcode |
| City | Included within the address information |
| Region | Not included as a separate field; use city and postcode for geographic selection |
| Industry code | Included; an industry description is not confirmed |
| Employees | Not included |
| Revenue / turnover | Not included |
| Phone | Included as a contact field |
| Included as a contact field | |
| Website | Not included |
| Board members | Not included |
| Decision-makers | Not included |
| Legal form | Included |
| Registration date | Included |

Filters you can use in Excel
Apply filters in Excel after downloading the file. Start with your target sector and territory, then save a working shortlist separately from the original. These are spreadsheet operations, not built-in online search filters. Keep a record of your selection criteria so colleagues can understand why an account belongs on the list.
- Region: filter cities and postcodes to build a territory list. A separate region column is not included, so broader regional groupings require your own mapping.
- Industry: select relevant industry codes. Check what each code covers before treating every matching company as a suitable prospect.
- Size: employee count and turnover are not in the file. Filtering by either measure requires additional data; legal form is not a reliable substitute.
- Legal form: narrow the spreadsheet to company types relevant to your offer, research project or account-selection criteria.
- Founding date: filter registration dates as the available reference for company age. Registration does not necessarily indicate when a business first started trading.
Prices and how to get your file
The Germany file is available from 199 €, with a one-time payment for the full country database rather than a subscription. Use the sample to check suitability before purchasing. The download is a company dataset for your own research, not a promise of replies, appointments or sales.
See the Germany company database to access the sample and purchase options. When preparing the file for another system, check column mappings and preserve registry numbers and postcodes as text where necessary.

Who uses it?
Sales, marketing and recruitment teams can use company records to organise research. The following examples illustrate possible workflows, not customer results. A matching record is a starting point: it does not confirm buying intent, an open vacancy or permission to send a promotional message.
Sales: organise territory research
Example: an equipment supplier selects relevant industry codes and postcodes, then removes existing accounts using registry numbers. Its sales team researches the remaining businesses and checks which contact channels it may lawfully use.
Marketing: assess sector coverage
Example: a marketing team groups businesses by industry and city to plan market research. It compares those groups with its customer profile before deciding whether a campaign is relevant and legally permissible.
Recruitment: identify employers to research
Example: a recruitment agency selects companies in its specialist sector and investigates hiring activity separately. The file helps identify employers; it does not provide hiring-manager contacts or evidence that those businesses are recruiting.
Is it legal?
Buying business data does not automatically make every intended use lawful. GDPR can apply where records identify individuals, including named e-mail addresses and some sole-trader information. Your responsibilities depend on the data and processing involved, not simply on whether you describe an activity as B2B.
B2B legitimate interest may support some processing after a documented assessment of purpose, necessity and the individual's rights. It is not blanket permission for unsolicited marketing. Provide required privacy information, limit access and retention, and respect objections where applicable.
Germany's rules on advertising and electronic communications apply alongside GDPR. Promotional e-mail generally requires prior express consent, subject to a narrow existing-customer exception. A database purchase does not establish that consent. Check the requirements for telephone outreach separately and obtain qualified legal advice before launching a campaign.
Check suitability before importing
Use the sample to review field structure, contact availability and how the data fits your existing records. Do not interpret a sample as proof that every address is deliverable or every phone number reaches the right department. Verify important contacts before relying on them.
Keep your own exclusions and objections separate from the original download, then apply them to working lists. If you are comparing markets, browse all business email lists. Assess each country on its own coverage and legal requirements rather than assuming that the same outreach approach works everywhere.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Germany B2B email list include?
The file covers 926 910 companies and contains 1 313 125 e-mail addresses and 791 192 phone numbers. Included fields are company name, registry number, legal form, address with city and postcode, e-mail, phone, industry code and registration date. These totals do not mean every company has every contact field populated.
Can I filter the Germany company email list by turnover?
No. Turnover and revenue are not included, and neither is employee count. You can filter the supplied fields in Excel, including industry code, city, postcode, legal form and registration date. If company size is essential to your selection process, you will need additional data before creating that segment.
Is the German business contact database a subscription?
No. The full Germany file is available from 199 € as a one-time purchase in XLSX and CSV formats. You work with the downloaded spreadsheet rather than renting access to a search platform. Start with the free 50-row sample to check whether the available fields meet your requirements.
Does the German company contact file include decision-makers?
No. Decision-makers and board members are not included in the file. It provides company-level records with e-mail and phone fields, not a dedicated list of people in particular roles. If your workflow depends on identifying a purchasing manager or hiring lead, plan separate research before attempting contact.
Can I send marketing emails to German business contacts?
A purchased contact record is not evidence of consent. Germany's electronic marketing rules generally require prior express consent for promotional e-mail, subject to a narrow existing-customer exception. GDPR legitimate interest does not override those requirements. Assess your proposed use, maintain exclusions and seek qualified advice where the legal position is unclear.
How should I assess the free German email database sample?
Open the free 50-row sample in your spreadsheet application and inspect the columns, address structure and contact availability. Test how registry numbers match your existing records and whether industry codes support your selection criteria. Use that review to assess suitability, not to assume guaranteed deliverability or interest from the listed companies.
