According to this presentation about Verein and Genossenschaft (in German,  
[1]), the main difference seems to be that a Verein has non-commercial  
goals (e.g. football club) while a Genossenschaft has commercial goals  
(like the supermarkets Andreas mentioned).

 From this perspective, I think a Genossenschaft would be more fitting for  
QGIS but I don't claim to fully understand the topic.

Best wishes,
Anita
