In the second half of the 19th century, the industrialisation also reached Celje and its surroundings, and by the first half of the 20th century the city had become one of the most important industrial centres in Slovenia. The most important or, rather, the biggest factories were the chemical company Cinkarna (1873) and Westen’s factory of enamelled kitchenware (1894). In that same period, the mill industry in the broader Celje area set up several major mills as well, at least two among which had the character of industrial plants: the older, Majdič Mill, was in 1903 joined by the First City Mill, recently known as the Rakusch Mill. In 2002, the Rakusch Mill was declared a cultural monument of local importance as a characteristic example of industrial architecture. In October 2014, the mill was damaged in the fire and demolished two months later.
