Which License?

[Martin Hirsch]

We want to use confluence for documentation purpose only. We are 15 team members writing articles, but round about 1000 company members will read (only read) the articles. Which license do we need for this purpose? Is it possible to restrict public access to the members of a company (domain)?

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can make a Confluence anonymously accessible (not just globally, but space by space).  This would allow the world to see it though, so it's only suitable for sites you want to be 100% visible to everyone  (unless you buy premium and start messing with whitelisting your company access).

If you use that, you'll only need licences for your 15 authors.

That means with a premium account for my 15 team members I can still make the pages accessible (read only) to the 1000 company employees? Only to the company employees?

Not the employees, but the networks that your employees use.  You can't identify people who don't log in, but whitelisting means you can say "only allow access if it comes from one of these ip addresses - organisational networks for example"
