Frederiksberg was given its local self-government in 1857, and it rapidly began to grow in population.
Frederiksberg enjoys a special status as both a county and local authority, which means that it is responsible for carrying out regional and local tasks that would be performed separately in the rest of the country either by a county or a local authority.
Frederiksberg is equally concerned with the elderly and the disabled since it is up to the local authority to provide a comprehensive home help service various old people's homes as well as a selection of day centers and pensioners' clubs.
