Castle Room Ocher
Zittau was an important industrial location in the 19th century, particularly for weaving. The region benefited from its proximity to resources and a thriving textile production, which made Zittau a significant centre for fabrics and textiles. A key role in this industry was played by ochre, which was used as an essential colour in weaving and dyeing. Ochre is a natural pigment that not only gives fabrics a vibrant quality with its yellowish-brown colour but was also indispensable for the success of textile production in Zittau at that time.
