economy
Coal mining, which previously dominated the cityscape, practically came to a standstill in the economic crisis of the 1990s, which also caused the sharply declining population, and was completely discontinued in 2005. Today the timber industry and mechanical engineering (a small factory for vehicle equipment) dominate.
