A retraction device includes an entrainment member to be releasably coupled to the movable furniture part, and a spring device for applying a force to the entrainment member in a direction opposite to an extension direction of the entrainment member. The spring device can be tensioned in the extension direction of the entrainment member by a spring holder separate from the entrainment member. A coupling device can couple a movement between the entrainment member and the spring holder, and can vary the distance of a fastening location of the spring device relative to the entrainment member as the entrainment member extends in the extension direction. The coupling device includes a control element having a longitudinal axis extending in the extension direction. To vary the distance between the fastening location and the entrainment member, the control element rotates about its longitudinal axis when the entrainment member is extended in the extension direction.
