List legal forms
Every legal form legal_form can carry, with its German name, its usual abbreviation
and its ISO 20275 ELF code. A company carries only the id (gmbh); read this list
once to show GmbH or Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung instead.
The same for every caller, and it reads no account data.
Free.
