Later, wooden tools for the textile industry, amongst other things, were manufactured here. The village was established specifically for the factory’s workers and management and initially consisted of 45 workers’ cottages and three managers’ villas. After the war, the AGO village was expanded to 90 homes. The factory has since closed, but the homes in the factory village remain in their original condition.
