Prototype: In order to meet the continually growing transport requirements in the emerging Federal Republic, the Deutsche Bundesbahn was also eager to replace the many different types of pre-war cars as quickly as possible. Open freight cars for transporting coal were required in large numbers, for example. For this reason, the DB together with the Uerdingen wagon factory developed a two-axle open car with 5.40 m wheelbase up to 1952.
