Dusseldorf The typical managing director of a German GmbH is male, 52 years old and drives to the office in a BMW company car. He works a good 47 hours a week for the company and did not get a pay increase in the pandemic year of 2021. The annual remuneration of fixed salary and bonuses averaged EUR 176,000.
