1945

After 1945, 14x locomotives were delivered to the DB, who mainly used them in the Spessart mountains near Aschaffenburg.

The DR used the remaining 31x locomotives for heavy duties on the Rübelandbahn in the Harz mountains as well as in Probstzella and Sonneberg. After the electrification of the Harzbahn line, the locomotives were brought to the Thuringian Forest, where they were used for passenger and freight train services (and even for some express passenger train services).

1966

24x locomotives were upgraded with oil firing in 1966 to increase the longevity of the locomotives and to reduce the amount of physical work for the stokers.
