The traditional linen weaving found its continuation in the textile industry. More than a tenth of the district residents worked in this industrial sector. VEB Oberlausitzer Textilbetriebe owned three factories in Löbau, and VEB Cotton Weaving and Finishing was located in Neusalza-Spremberg. The cities of Ebersbach and Neugersdorf continued to be the centers of textile production. The town of Löbau was already a center of drapery production in the 14th century and developed into the largest yarn market in Upper Lusatia in the 19th century . It was also well known for the "Förster" pianos, which had been made here for 120 years. The county's industry products also included shoes, electrical systems, furniture and mirrors. Tourism played a role in the western district area, in the Lausitzer Bergland . The resorts of Neusalza-Spremberg and Cunewalde to the north were located here. The townscapes of the street villages were characterized by half-timbered houses .
The district was always a transit area between the merchant and trading towns of Bautzen, Görlitz and Zittau. The road and rail routes ran through the district in transit traffic to Poland and Czechoslovakia with Löbau as a traffic junction, trade and industrial center.
