Horse-drawn sledges have been mining ore and stone in the Ore Mountains for centuries. Three such systems were built in Johanngeorgenstadt between 1721 and 1806, including the sledge of the "Neu Leipziger Glück Fundgrube" in 1798. After a restoration in 1921, it became a technical monument, was demolished in 1948, and rebuilt as a museum in 1993.

Centuries ago, horse gullets were used for mechanized mining in the Ore Mountains. In the mining town of Johanngeorgenstadt, founded in 1654, three such conveyor systems were built between 1721 and 1806. In 1798 the Göpel of the “Neu Leipziger Glück Fundgrube” was created.

In the wooden building with a shingle roof, two horses pulled up ore and rock from the 140-meter-deep, artfully lined drift shaft. The Göpel building was 27.5 meters long and 13 meters high. After restoration in 1921, it served as a technical monument - the last of its kind in Saxony.
In 1948 he fell victim to the mining of SAG WISMUT. Reconstruction began with the laying of the foundation stone on June 17, 1992. Since October 30, 1993 it has been open as a technical museum. Almost every day there are performances in the Pferdegöpel in Johanngeorgenstadt.
