Johan Jakob Korn founded a company that issued publications intended mainly for Eastern European countries, especially for Poland.

The farm also ensured the property's self-sufficiency. The entire estate had an area of over 347 hectares. There were cowsheds, a water tower, a smithy, a manager's house, a dairy and a distillery. The palace was decorated with the coats of arms of the Korns and Eichborns, from which the wife of the owner of Pawłowice came. You probably know the Eichborns, they are well-known bankers, who owned one of the most beautiful residences in Prussia at that time at today's Kościuszko Street.
The workers completely destroyed the grave, stole some of the equipment, but the rest of the treasures were taken over by Heinrich von Korn, who handed them over to researchers from the Museum of Silesian Antiquities in Wrocław. More than a year later, two more graves were discovered. There were gold and silver jewelry, Roman coins, dishes, spoons. The tombs were called princely and belonged to the Germanic tribes. Heinrich von Korn understood the role of archeology. He himself was a co-founder of the Silesian Museum of Artistic Crafts and Antiquities in Wrocław.
