Your membership with Prokon lasts your whole life - and beyond. Even if it is not a pleasant topic, many members are concerned with the question of how they want to deal with their shares in old age or at the end of their lives. We have compiled all the information you need here.
As a member, you can easily transfer your business capital to another person at any time through a written contract, who is already a member of Prokon or becomes one. You can also transfer a part of your business capital and thereby reduce the number of your business shares.

As soon as we receive the information, we will send a pre-filled transfer form, either to you as the transferring member or to the acquirer of the business shares, as per your preference. For the transfer to be legally effective, please send the transfer form, signed by both contractual parties, in its original form per post to:
Prokon Regenerative Energien eG
Kirchhoffstraße 3
25524 Itzehoe
Approval by the board
The transfer of your business credit becomes effective once the executive board approves the admission of the acquirer to Prokon eG or the acquisition of additional business shares.
Yes, that is possible. If you would like to authorise someone to represent you in matters concerning your membership, please issue that person with a corresponding written power of attorney. If you would like the power of attorney to be kept on file with Prokon eG, please send the signed original by post to:
Prokon Regenerative Energien eG
Kirchhoffstraße 3
25524 Itzehoe
A sample form for issuing a power of attorney can be found in the member portal.
Notes for the person granting the power of attorney: The power of attorney also includes the authority to receive mail. Please indicate in the form whether the mail should be sent to the authorised person or to you (the member). If no indication is made, correspondence will be conducted via the authorised person. You can make changes to the postal arrangements at any time by submitting an informal letter.
Notes for the authorised person: When exercising the power of attorney, proof of identity must be submitted to Prokon eG, e.g., a copy of an identity card.
Please note: This power of attorney does not authorise representation at the General Assembly. A separate power of attorney is required for participation in the General Assembly.
Yes, if you have previously granted the power of attorney.
Regarding the power of attorney: If you would like to authorise someone to represent you in matters related to your membership, please grant this person a corresponding power of attorney in writing.

If you have used the Prokon eG sample form to grant the power of attorney, the power of attorney remains valid even after your death. The authorised representative will remain empowered as long as the heirs do not revoke the power of attorney and until the membership ends.
Unfortunately, we cannot make individual arrangements in the event of inheritance, as this is not permitted by either our articles of association or the Cooperative Societies Act. If you wish to make provisions for inheritance, we recommend that you seek legal and tax advice. Prokon eG is not authorised to provide such advice.
In addition to the death certificate, we require an official proof of inheritance. Official proofs of inheritance include, for example, the certificate of inheritance, the opened will with the opening protocol, and the European certificate of succession. You can apply for the proofs of inheritance at the competent local court / probate court.
We kindly ask you to send the proofs of inheritance to the following address:
Prokon Regenerative Energien eG
Kirchhoffstraße 3
25524 Itzehoe
Multiple heirs who wish to dispose of the inheritance jointly must each send us an informal, signed acceptance of the inheritance, which includes a current address. Alternatively, a legible scan or copy of their identity card can be provided.
It is advisable to authorise one heir to represent the community of heirs in the event of inheritance. This inheritance power of attorney must be signed by all heirs.
When providing the bank account details, the community of heirs should agree on a single bank account, which must be submitted to Prokon eG with the signatures of all heirs.
The community of heirs can divide the inherited share capital among the individual heirs or allocate it to one heir. This can be done via a transfer. We would be happy to advise you on this by phone.
