The company was founded in 1867 by Johann Benjamin Herrmann (1812–1882) as an orlean weaving mill for the production of semi-woolen fabrics from cotton and worsted yarn . In 1876 the weaving mill was expanded to include a finishing and a dyeing factory. The name was changed to JB Herrmann Mechanische Weberei, Dyeing and Finishing in 1917. Due to the lack of demand for woolen and semi-woolen clothing fabrics, production fell drastically after 1918.

After the Second World War , the textile manufacturer Reinhard Engler from Reichenau ( Bogatynia ) leased parts of the factory that had gone bankrupt around 1930 and was closed down from the Herrmann family. In 1947, the Hirschfelde school was set up in the vacant central building of the factory area as an interim solution, as the central school in the Hirschfeld village of Lehde (now Trzciniec Dolny ) with the new border situation, the later Oder-Neisse border , belonged to Poland . This workaround lasted until the new school was built in 1962 on the Hirschfelder North Pole , the new building area that was built in the 1950s.

From 1961 until the nationalization in 1972, the name of the weaving mill Reinhard Engler KG was a company with state participation . After that, the company became the production facility of the VEB Textilkombinat Zittau (TKZ), Plant 3.3, which later became the VEB Oberlausitzer Textilbetriebe (Lautex). By the end of production in 1990, around 50 employees worked on 60 ES4 automatic weaving machines for the manufacture of cotton and lining materials. From 1993, with the exception of the factory owner's former villa, the buildings were demolished.
