摘要

German municipalities do not play a crucial role in providing healthcare. However, citizens often consider healthcare to be part of general services in their community. The article explores the way municipalities can shape the landscape of health services. Legally, there are more options at their disposal. Municipalities rarely seize this opportunity, mostly due to a lack of resources. Public health and health promotion used to be a cornerstone of German cities. In the meantime, universal healthcare and individualized medicine have dwarfed this broad approach to healthcare.
