Transparenzregister is the German register of beneficial owners, established by the Money Laundering Act. Entities subject to the Act report the natural persons who ultimately own or control them, and the register records those persons rather than the entities themselves.
Domain Rating ist eine datierte Ahrefs-Momentaufnahme der Domain-Autorität. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating is measured by Ahrefs and read through their public Domain Rating API. Each value carries the date it was read and describes the whole domain that was measured, not the individual page it appears beside. Where several records are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated reading rather than each carrying a figure of its own. A record shown as not measured is a record nobody has a reading for, which is not the same as a record measured at zero. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, geschätzter traffic and verweisende domains, so they are not published for any record.
Identity verification required Inspection requires registration on the portal and is fee-bearing. The application is client-rendered and the inspection flow itself was not exercised, so the precise identity checks applied are not asserted.

Einschätzung
Stärken
It records the natural persons behind an entity, which no other German register sets out to do.
Keeping the register is a sovereign federal task under the Money Laundering Act, so its basis is statutory rather than contractual.
It covers entities across legal forms rather than companies alone.
Einschränkungen
Inspection is not free and requires registration on the portal, so it is not comparable to the open company registers.
It records reported beneficial owners. A report is made by the entity, so the register reflects what was declared rather than what was independently established.
It does not establish that an entity exists or who legally represents it. That is the commercial register kept by the courts, reached through the register portal.
The application is client-rendered and the inspection flow was not exercised, so the exact identity checks applied to a searcher are not stated here.
Hinweise zur Einreichung
Records are created through incorporation, registration, filing, or statutory processes.

Establishing required submission assets requires submitting a listing and observing the result. That has not been done for any directory in this dataset, so it is not published rather than estimated.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
