The locomotive was operated as a coal railway locomotive by the Bockwaer Eisenbahngesellschaft from 1861. During the German War in 1866, the Prussians confiscated the MULDENTHAL as supposed state property for their own purposes, but soon returned it to its owner. The locomotive was in constant use (with only a few downtimes due to the war). After the end of WWII it was in operation as a works locomotive on the Zwickau coal railways until 1952. Then secured as a museum locomotive. Exhibited in the Transport Museum in Dresden. 51.052153° 13.739476°
