It was decided to build the military ammunition manufacturing plant and depot in the forests between Mikulovice and Salisov hamlet in 1938 after occupation of Czechoslovak border regions by Nazi Germany.

Initially, the project Heeres-Munitionsanstalt Niklasdorf development relied on local unfree labourers, later (from 1941) British and Soviet prisoners of war were employed on the site.

The Brontosaurus Movement (Jeseníky branch) initiated founding of the informal group Městečko neziskových organizací ("Town of non-profit organizations")[4] in 2011.
