The summer-winter wagons (also: large summer-winter wagons ) were a series of 174  sidecars that were delivered to the Great Berlin Tram (GBS) between 1905 and 1912 . After 1934 they were given the designation B 06/27 .

vehicle description

The vehicles, painted in fir green and ivory, had a car body length of 8.29 meters in their original condition and a total length over the coupling of 8.75 meters. The passenger compartment had 24 seats and 16 standing places. The transversely arranged wooden seats were covered with fabric. The cars had four windows on each side, mostly rounded at the top. The first 40 cars still had unscrewable windows for summer operation. As the wagons had to go to the workshop twice a year due to this circumstance, the GBS 1906 provided a sidecar with sliding windows on a trial basis while maintaining the usual dimensions. The side windows could be lowered into a three-hinged flap. The windows could be opened and closed with a strap attached to the center of the flap. The sliding windows received later deliveries right from the start. There were also sliding curtains to protect from the sun. The longitudinal and transverse sleepers of the floor frame were made of oak , while the corner and window pillars and the other visible wooden parts were made of polished ash . The lighting came from four ceiling lamps in bronze consoles. At the ends of the car, the sidecars had open entry platforms . The wheelbase of the first cars was 1.95 meters, otherwise 2.20 meters. They did not have their own chassis , but a simple girder in which the axle bushings were stored. The empty weight was 4.8 tons. In addition to the handbrake, the wagons also had a magnetic and later also an air brake .

history

The cars delivered from 1905 onwards were the third sidecar series procured for electric operation by GBS. Before that, a series of 170 summer cars and a series of vehicles intended for summer and winter had already been delivered between 1897 and 1900 . The series, known as the summer-winter car, was essentially based on the convertible cars delivered until 1904 , in which the windows were removed during the warm season. Accordingly, the first 40 cars delivered also received unscrewable windows. From 1906 the wagons had sliding windows.

After the merger of the GBS with the Städtische Straßenbahnen Berlin and the Berliner Elektrische Straßenbahnen AG to form the Berlin tram in 1920 the vehicles were renumbered. The number range from 914 to 1087 was provided for the summer-winter cars. In addition to the new car numbers, the cars were given a new paint job in light yellow with black decorative stripes. After 1924 it was painted again; the lower half in chrome yellow, the row of windows in white and the roofs in brown. Three years later the wagons were extensively converted. The platforms were closed and the windows were used permanently. As a result, the car body length changed from 8.29 meters to 9.10 meters. The wheelbase has been increased to 2.60 meters for better handling. The doors remained open on the drive side, on the other side they were closed by transfer doors and hinged windows. The subsequently installed air brake was also removed again. From 1934 the wagons were given the designation B 06/27 according to the BVG type code . In 1935 and 1936, the paintwork was repainted in the uniform ivory shade of the empire. Outwardly, they maintained this condition until they were retired. On some cars, the four large side windows have also been divided into eight small ones. In 1938, the 946 and 993 cars were the first to be retired - probably after they had been damaged in an accident.

Of the 172 remaining cars, 29 were lost during the Second World War , and 64 cars were not rebuilt after the war and were scrapped by 1949. Two other cars, 946 and 1029 or 1064, were converted into the S87 and S90 salt trucks during this period . The 1030 and 1040 cars were converted into consumer sales sidecars around 1947 . In addition to the interior fittings, the cars numbered K1 and K2 also received a pantograph for lighting. At the beginning of the 1950s, the BVG had the cars dismantled. When the administration of the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe was separated into an east and a west administration , 21 sidecars went to the BVG (east), including both sales cars, the remaining 56 cars to the BVG (west).

At BVG (West), the cars were retired by 1951. Four of them were converted into salt trucks in 1952 and remained in service until the 1960s. At BVG (Ost) the first step was to modernize the vehicles. The sidecars were given barrel roofs , the number of windows was set to four, with two ventilation flaps installed above each window and the lighting in the interior was ensured by means of fluorescent lamps . Light bulbs were still used on the platforms and for the tail lights. The wheelbase has been increased to 3000 mm. Around 1960, ten cars were converted again, in which the transfer doors were replaced by sliding doors. The last modernization took place in the course of the changeover to OS operation and concerned the installation of acoustic and optical signals as well as door lights.

With the exception of the sidecar 1024, which was taken out of service in 1966 after an accident, the 1968/69 cars were included in the reconstruction program . The two cars 928 and 947, which were retired in 1968, were converted into one-way type BE 59/4 cars, and the 17 cars that were retired in 1969 into two-way type BZ 69 cars. The three remaining sidecars 958, 984 and 1032, which were also retired in 1969, have been preserved as historic vehicles and are now looked after by the Berlin Heritage Association . Bw 958 was the first vehicle to be restored to its early 1930s condition and presented on December 12, 1976. Bw 1032 was restored to its condition from 1910 until 1987 and was given its first car number 808. Bw 984 was presented as the last sidecar on April 6, 1996; it is in the condition of the 1950s. The three cars are drivable and are used on special occasions.
