There were rich iron ore deposits in the area around Klein Mohrau . In addition to mining, processing companies such as hammer mills also settled , and the wood from the forests of the Jeseníky Mountains was processed into charcoal in kilns. In Klein Mohrau there were three hammer mills, the upper hammer in today's house No. 75 and the lower and middle hammer, and several wire mills of the Weiß brothers were built. In 1832 Johann Clemens Weiß built a paper factory and in 1856 the iron goods factory (for chains, wires and pens) was built by Franz Olbrich.
