Since 1878, Zenica is a part of Austro-Hungarian Bosnia. New European rule brought major industrial revolution in this part of the world. With several, state-sponsored projects private capital was stimulated for investment in whole Bosnia. Those projects include a railway from Bosanski Brod to Zenica built in 1879, a Coal Mine (1880), Paper Works (1885), Steel Factory (1892) and a Prison (1886), all of which made a very important influence on the modern urban development of the city. Coal and iron, as the basics of the industrial development during the late 19-th century, were the major factors which influenced the decision to make Zenica as the location of Bosnia`s heavy industry. In the beginning of the 20th century, there was an urban boom and the official State Register for the year 1910 shows that in only a few years the number of population had increased to 7,215 inhabitants. An Orthodox Church was built in 1882, two Catholic Churches in 1910, a Synagogue in 1903, several coaching inns, a hotel, a school, sewerage, paved roads and more. The city changed markedly in character during this period as might be expected during such a developmental boom. During WWI Zenica wasn’t so important area of it. Important battles didn’t take place anywhere near Zenica or this central point of Bosnia.
