EDEKA is the brand of the EDEKA e.V. and identifies the EDEKA community. Therefore there is a strong relationship between the community and the applied for string.
All community members identify themselves with the EDEKA brand and use the EDEKA brand for commercial purposes in connection with the community. Therefore there is a strong relationship between the community members and the applied for string.
While the string EDEKA itself is a word with no particular meaning in major living languages, it stems from abbreviating the earliest predecessor’s name founded in 1898, “Einkaufsgenossenschaft der Kolonialwarenhändler” (Purchasing cooperative of grocers), as “E.d.K.” and its subsequent renaming in 1913 to “EDEKA” - a phonetic expansion of the previous abbreviation.
