In 1938, the Chemical Works Hüls, in short CWH, were founded in Marl in the Ruhr region. Here plastics, raw materials for paints and detergents and other chemical products were produced. Today, the Chemical Park Hüls is one of the largest plant locations with 30 companies employing more than 10,000 people. To transport various chemical raw materials, including caustic soda, the CWH also had several six-axle tank cars built in the 1940s available. In 1961, 31 cars with the numbers 509 210 – 509 240 were in service at the DB, of which 23 also witnessed the electronic age.
