The document by Gerolf Udo Waldsauer examines the conflicting obligations of municipalities under municipal economic law and corporate law in Baden-Württemberg. It shows that municipalities often choose GmbHs for their economic activities and highlights the implications of the public-law obligations of the municipal shareholder. The dissertation emphasizes the importance of corporate law and municipal economic law for municipal enterprises and proposes the introduction of public governance codes to resolve conflicts. Waldsauer argues for the primacy of corporate law and proposes federal legal changes to ensure the constitutionality of the economic activities of public enterprises. [Extracted from the article]
