TYPES OF MEMBERS

The Verband has full members (active and passive) and honorary members or chairpersons. Membership is open to any individual, private partnership under the Civil Code, or legal entity fulfilling the requirements of the latest version of the Animal Breeding Act and willing to acknowledge the latest version of the Holsteiner Verband rules and regulation.  

Members will be assigned to a breeding area according to their place of business. Private partnerships under the Civil Code (breeding partnerships) may be formed by two Verband members at least.  One of them must be named to the Verband as having power of sole representation so that any declaration executed by the Verband towards this person is effective for both partners.  

The membership is not heritable, but may be transferred to a natural person in case of legal succession to a breed operation.

ACTIVE VS. PASSIVE MEMBERSHIP

A full member with no breeding stock activated is considered a passive member. Full members with activated and registered breeding stock are considered active members.

TERMINATION OF MEMBERSHIP

Membership can be terminated with three months’ notice to the end of the business year by registered letter to the Verband.
