After a fire in 1816, the school was rebuilt a year later. Then a school building was built in 1832 and expanded in 1882.

In 1877 the Riesa – Nossen railway line was built, which brought Mehltheuer via the Prausitz station ( ) directly to the municipal border with direct access to rail passenger and freight traffic. For the construction of the train station and in order to cross the current main road as at right angles as possible, this was relocated in the intersection area, so that since then a distinctive 90-degree curve has to be passed before entering the town when coming from Meißen. Since then, Lommatzscher Strasse (today's State Road 85 ) has been flowing into the federal road at an acute angle at precisely this bend and branches off again at an equally acute angle before leaving the town. In addition, the previously direct route from Pahrenz to Mehltheuer has been cut and relocated in favor of the railway line.
