Abstract: The systematic expansion of local public enterprises started in the mid of the 19th century. The focus of these enterprises was the utility industry (the population’s supply with water, gas, and electricity), the transportation (passanger transport), the lending business (banks supported publicly by the commune or district), the health care system and the housing industry. The local enterprises worked as the municipalities’ instruments, fulfilling during the 19th century mainly social, distributional, and fiscal responsibilities.
