Since the 19th century, lignite was increasingly extracted here. After 1918 the Viennese coal industry associations in Zieditz and Buckwa and the Zieditz-Haberspirk coal union in Zieditz operated mines, of which the Dionysi-Laurenzi colliery was the best known. In 1872 the railway from Komotau to Eger was inaugurated, from which extensive industrial railway facilities branched off in Zieditz.
