The HGPD saw itself as the successor to the hairdressers 'union founded in 1891 and the innkeepers' union founded in 1892.
After the founding of the Austrian Federation of Trade Unions in 1945, hairdressers with domestic workers, home helpers, housekeepers, staff in baths and health resorts and cleaners formed union 16: "Union of workers for personal services and amusement businesses".
When the two unions merged, AK Vice President Florian Mück was elected chairman of the Personal Service union and Franz Erwin Niemitz was elected central secretary.
