For over a century, the factory in Střekov has influenced the structure of the city and the quality of life of its inhabitants. During the period of industrial development, Johann Schicht and his descendants built civic amenities in the city – a health center, spas, nurseries, a library, and residential buildings for their workers. After the company was nationalized, production continued and continued to employ a large number of newly settled residents. The national company Setuza also brought its employees together and enabled them to participate in "extracurricular activities," primarily in events organized by the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement, which included the organization of International Women's Day celebrations, St. Nicholas Day gifts, and children's camps.
