Frequently Asked Questions

An Impressum (legal notice or imprint) is a statement of ownership and authorship required by German law for commercial websites. It must identify who is responsible for the website content and provide contact information.

Under German law (TMG), all commercial websites, blogs with ads, professional websites, and online shops accessible in Germany require an Impressum. Even personal blogs may need one if they generate income.

Missing or incomplete Impressum can result in warnings (Abmahnung) from competitors or consumer protection groups, fines up to 50,000 EUR, and potential lawsuits. Compliance is strictly enforced in Germany.

Required: Full name/company name, physical address (no P.O. boxes), contact email, phone number, company registration number (if applicable), VAT ID (if applicable), and information about regulatory authority if relevant.

The Impressum must be easily accessible from every page, typically in the footer. It should be reachable within two clicks and clearly labeled as 'Impressum' or 'Legal Notice'.

No. An Impressum identifies who runs the website (legal disclosure). A privacy policy (Datenschutzerklarung) explains how you handle user data. German law requires both for commercial websites.

If your website targets German users (German language, .de domain, ships to Germany, etc.), you should have an Impressum. German courts have jurisdiction over websites accessible in Germany.

TMG (Telemediengesetz) is the German Telemedia Act requiring Impressum. DSGVO is the German implementation of GDPR (data protection). Both affect website legal requirements in Germany.

No. German law requires a physical street address where you can receive official mail and be served legal documents. P.O. boxes, c/o addresses, and virtual offices are not acceptable.
