Technical

What does the HWK badge mean?
The HWK badge is based on self-disclosure by the business. It indicates that the business has stated it is registered in the craft chamber roll (Handwerksrolle). hwdirekt.de does not independently verify this. The business is solely responsible for the accuracy of its listing.
