A farmers market was held every Tuesday from 1872 onward, but was suspended later, running out of need, because of the market in neighbouring Dürnholz. Parish registers have existed from 1649 onward and land registration since 1751.

Atraditional holiday was the festival of the 4th of July (Saint Ulrich), which was switched to the 16th of August (Saint Rochus) in the 19th century because of the field work during harvest time. The industrial places in the town were the grain mill (built anew in 1899 with a new warehouse and a steam powered mill), which was financed by the central association of the German agricultural cooperative. The old grain mill by the Thaya - first mentioned in the urbar in 1414 with six set of millstones was sold in 1786 and built anew in 1811. It was closed in 1886/87 because of the drainage of the Thaya river.
