In 1967 a "conception for the construction of a technical monument with a museum character about the development of the productive forces of the hard coal mining of the GDR" was decided. From 1976 onwards, part of the daytime facilities was transformed into the “Karl-Liebknecht-Schacht” mining museum and opened to the public on July 4, 1986. In January 2018, the City Council of Oelsnitz / Erzgeb. the plans for the renovation and conversion of the museum complex were presented. These provide for the renovation of the building with the winding tower, the addition of an entrance foyer and the redesign of the entire museum tour, including the escape and rescue routes, in the coming years. A good 17 million euros are budgeted for the renovation.
