Prototype: In 1934, in order to round off the program for the unit locomotives, the company Krupp was initially commissioned to build two locomotives of the construction series 06. During the realisation of this project, the Deutsche Reichsbahn started to lose interest in the giant locomotives. The locomotive of construction series 06 001 was first delivered in March 1939, the locomotive 06 002 only in August 1939. At the end of 1940, the Deutsche Reichsbahn issued a new paint regulation which specified that in the future the upper structures of the streamlined locomotives should no longer be black but anthracite grey.
