In 1799, the tunnel was reopened as an electoral Saxon heritage tunnel, which was used to remove water from the area, together with the rose garden tunnel . The tunnel was excavated over a length of around 1,600 meters . The keystone of the mouth hole was made from granite in 1862. In 1864 the defection took place as a royal tunnel.
Between 1947 and 1951, the tunnel from object 01 of Wismut AG was used as a water dissolving tunnel. The maximum water outflow was 22.5 m 3 / h. At the end of the 1940s, the tunnel was also examined by the geological department of object 01, without any uranium mineralization worthy of construction being found.
In 1750, Christian Gotthold Hoffmann attempted to use a metal burning mirror with a silver specimen from the Gegenglückstolln .
