HRb

HRB is an acronym that can refer to several different things depending on context. Two of the most common uses are in aviation and in Germany’s commercial registry system.

In aviation, HRB is the IATA airport code for Harbin Taiping International Airport, located in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China. The airport serves as a major regional hub, handling domestic and international flights and cargo operations.

In Germany, HRB is a prefix used in the Handelsregister, the country’s commercial register. Specifically, HRB denotes entries in Abteilung B (Section B) of the Handelsregister, which lists corporate bodies such as Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (GmbH) and Aktiengesellschaften (AG). The register is maintained by local Amtsgerichte (district courts). A company entry is identified by an HRB number, for example HRB 12345. By contrast, Abteilung A uses HRA numbers and typically covers individual entrepreneurs and certain partnerships. The HRB designation often appears on official filings, company documents, and sometimes on invoices to indicate the registered entity.

Other, less common uses of HRB exist in specialized contexts or organizations, but the two examples above are the most widely encountered. When encountering the term HRB, surrounding information such as country, organization type, or accompanying terms usually clarifies which meaning applies.
