Mining in Malliß has a long history. Salt was mined in the Saline Conow as early as 1304, clay mining began in the middle of the 16th century and around 1817 underground lignite mining began in the so-called Friedrich-Franz field.

The coal mined by the Malliß brickworks and mining company was of good quality and was soon able to secure a fairly large market. Not only was the entire firing requirement of the brickworks and the steam sawmill, also located on the Elde Canal, covered, but the coal was also transported by water up the Elde to Malchow.

The monument to a mining railway locomotive in Malliß (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) is an important technical monument that recalls the long and rich mining tradition of this region. Malliß is one of the few places in the North German Plain that can boast a real mining history. The locomotive on display is usually a typical mine locomotive, as it was used in the 20th century for the transport of materials and mine carts.
