More than 100 locomotives remained after the war at DR (DRG) in the Soviet occupation zone. They were mainly used in the north and central regions of the GDR in the directories Schwerin and Magdeburg. Here again, they frequently performed shunting duties, such as in the marine ports of Wismar and Rostock, as well as in Stendal, Güsten and Köthen. Other locations were Wittenberge, Salzwedel, Halberstadt and Güstrow. By 1970, the fleet in the GDR was also dramatically reduced. On the introduction of new computer numbers, fewer than ten engines were still in use. The decision was taken at an early date to transfer the Stendal 57 3297 to the transport museum. After appearing in many exhibitions, it is now on display in the round engine shed of the Chemnitz- Hilbersdorf railway museum
