The Class 95 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn includes steam locomotives built between 1922 and 1924 by the manufacturers Borsig and Hanomag. Originally ordered as Prussian Class T20, they received the class number 95 in 1925. Despite the initial plan to use these locomotives for cogwheel operation on steep lines, they were primarily deployed in freight train and shunting operations on mountain routes due to their high weight, earning them the nickname "Mountain Queen."

After World War II, 12 locomotives remained in West Germany and were used by the Deutsche Bundesbahn until 1957. These were scrapped by 1959. In the GDR, the locomotives continued to be used, and 24 machines were converted to oil firing in Meiningen in the 1960s. The regular operation of the last locomotives ended in 1981. Some machines, including 95 016 and 95 027, have been preserved for museum and heritage purposes and are still operational today. Preserved locomotives are owned by various museums and railway clubs.
