In 1827, the first carriages are crossing Czersk via a carriage tract between Berlin and Königsberg. One of the main escape routes for insurgents of the unsuccessful Polish November Uprising from partitioned Poland to the Great Emigration led through the town.[3] Second lieutenant and then budding poet Wincenty Pol, who led one of the columns, commemorated their stay in the town and the reception of the insurgents by local Poles with the poem "Nocleg w Czersku."[3] In 1873, the railroad between Berlin and Königsberg was opened, passing through Czersk; first major commercial economical development. In 1887, the history of furniture manufacturing in Czersk began, with the opening of the enterprise of Herman Shütta – presently Czersk Furniture Factory Klose. In 1906–1907, local children joined the children school strikes against Germanisation that spread throughout the Prussian Partition of Poland.
