Prototype: When procuring a twin-axle closed goods wagon complete with front doors, DRG focussed strongly on the Prussian "hollow glassware wagon". Wagons were derived especially for the transport of passenger cars on behalf of the automotive industry that was flourishing at the end of the 1920s. The initial design of this wagon, even that of the version without a handbrake, only boasted one front door. Due to the fact that it made laborious shunting manoeuvres essential, the design was revised. In addition to front doors with a larger structure gauge, the wagons without a handbrake now boasted two front doors meaning that a passage was possible during loading and unloading. Consequently, many wagons were then located in the railway stations at the production locations of the automobile manufacturers.
