Review in detail
Der Stammbaum is published by United Soft Media Verlag GmbH, Thomas-Wimmer-Ring 11, 80539 Munich, HR B 49 504 at Amtsgericht München, managing director Gregor Giehrl. The purchase contract is concluded with that company.
The listed system requirements name Windows 7 to 10, so the page does not confirm support for Windows 11. The Premium edition adds large PDF presentations and a companion app.
What does Der Stammbaum 10 Premium cost and include?
Der Stammbaum 10 Premium costs EUR 59.90 on DVD-ROM including a printed German manual, and EUR 49.90 as a download. All prices include VAT, and shipping is extra for the DVD.
Premium adds numerous reports, lists and diagrams, PDF presentations up to DIN A0, and an app with a photo upload function via a cloud server.
What can Der Stammbaum do with your data?
Der Stammbaum records persons with photos, documents and audio or video clips, plus notes, sources and witnesses per event. It imports data from earlier versions 7.0 to 9.0 and from other programs through GEDCOM.
A coherence and plausibility check and a search function are included. The program comes in German, English and French.
Where is Der Stammbaum weaker than Ancestry?
Der Stammbaum is Windows software without a record collection or DNA test. The product page lists Windows 7 to 10 as operating systems.
The USM privacy page names Google Analytics and Google AdWords from Google Inc. in the United States for the website. That concerns the shop, not the tree data on your PC.
Known limits
Der Stammbaum is Windows-only, the listed system requirements stop at Windows 10, the demo news item dates from 2021, and activation is required. The app uses a cloud server whose location is not stated. For a Mac option see MacFamilyTree.
Is Der Stammbaum right for you?
German-speaking users who like to buy software once, print reports and keep their data locally.
