List of the 5 largest municipally owned corporations in Germany

Municipalities are not only administratively active, but also entrepreneurially active – mostly through municipal utilities. These provide services in the areas of infrastructure, supply and disposal, and public transport. Here are the 5 largest German municipal utilities:

1. Stadtwerke München GmbH, Munich

With over 10,000 employees, Stadtwerke München SWM is considered Germany’s largest municipal utility. SWM business areas are: Electricity, natural gas, district heating, district cooling and drinking water supply, public transport, pool operation and telecommunications. One focus is on renewable energies. SWM is wholly owned by the city.

Update 2023: Stadtwerke München recently announced that it would be adjusting its energy prices. Energy remains comparatively expensive at some basic suppliers – including Munich’s municipal utilities. However, prices for gas and electricity are now to fall again.

2. Stadtwerke Köln GmbH, Cologne

Stadtwerke Köln GmbH acts as the holding umbrella for Cologne’s municipal operations. This includes majority or 100 percent shareholdings in Gas-, Elektrizitäts- und Wasserwerke Köln AG (GEW: RheinEnergie, NetCologne), Kölner Verkehrsbetriebe, Abfallwirtschaftsbetriebe Köln an der Häfen and Güterverkehr Köln AG.

Update 2024: The new full-time Managing Director of Stadtwerke Köln is Michael Theis. The manager is responsible for finance, controlling, taxes and Group auditing.
