Summary
Hubert Niewels GmbH
business plumbing hvac germany
NIEWELS-ASN is held by Hubert Niewels GmbH, a German specialist in refrigeration, air conditioning, and pipeline installation.
What it's used for
- The address space carries internal corporate traffic, evidenced by netnames
NIEWELS-NET-01andNIEWELS-NET-04registered to the company's abuse contact. - The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes with only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small, self-contained corporate network rather than a transit or access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of office workers and technical staff for a B2B industrial services firm, not consumer subscribers or public web endpoints.
Notable
- Registrants for both announced prefixes list "Abuse-C Role" under the netnames
NIEWELS-NET-01andNIEWELS-NET-04, consistent with the AS holder Hubert Niewels GmbH. - The address inventory is minimal, comprising two /24 blocks (185.131.196.0/24 and 185.131.199.0/24) with no IPv6 prefixes, typical of a small enterprise estate.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
