What membership costs
The annual contribution depends on the type of membership — for companies, on the number of employees. The amounts are set by the contribution schedule (Beitragsordnung), which the general meeting resolves on.
| Type of membership | Annual contribution |
|---|---|
| Individual members (natural persons) | €60 |
| Small companies (up to 20 employees) | €120 |
| Large companies (more than 20 employees) | €360 |
| Research, public authorities and non-profit organisations | €120 |
| Supporting members | freely chosen, min. €60 |
Members who hold an office on the board or the curatorium are exempt from the contribution for the duration of their term. Details — such as due dates or reductions in justified individual cases — are governed by the contribution schedule (Beitragsordnung).
