The E 03 class was developed in the mid-1960s and was the most powerful DB locomotive until then, intended for heavy passenger trains. Between 1970 and 1974, 145 series locomotives were put into service. The last 30 locomotives (from 103 216) were fitted with an enlarged driver's cab, making them 700 mm longer.
At the end of its official service life, at the suggestion of many fans of the class, a locomotive in a new traffic red livery with a contrasting coloured chassis was built. Just like the classic 103 in red/beige. The ROCO company was the sponsor of this livery. As a special feature, the locomotive was given a dedication inscription under the right-hand side cab window on the occasion of its presentation to the public.
