This factory ruin is all that remains of the large-scale cotton spinning and weaving mill that was established here in the second half of the 19th ^century . The textile factory remained active until its bankruptcy in the 1960s. Subsequently, a copper foundry established itself on the grounds and in the buildings. The copper foundry evolved into a metalworking company, primarily active in supplying parts for the automotive industry. Due to increasing demand, the company soon outgrew its premises. In 1997, it moved to a new and larger site, and these buildings became permanently vacant.
