The locomotive GHE 20 was a tank locomotive of the Gernrode-Harzgeroder Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (GHE) with the wheel arrangement D.
1914 GHE bought the locomotive from the AG Ruhr-Lippe Kleinbahnen (RLK) as a replacement for the heeresfeldbahn votes Mallet locomotives Anhalt , Brunswick and Prussia (HK 116-118). These had been procured in 1905 because the triple-coupled locomotives Selke , Gernrode , Harzgerode , Güntersberge , Alexisbad and Hasselfelde no longer met operational needs.
The no. 20 had an outer frame and Klien-Lindner hollow axles . It had a high pulling force, but the running properties were modest. The GHE used the locomotive, known by the staff as the “bull”, primarily for freight trains .
In 1946 the Soviet Military Administration in Germany (SMAD) dismantled a large part of the GHE line and drove five of the six three-couplers (only the Gernrode (from 1949: DR 99 5811) remained with the GHE), the number 20 and the locomotives no 21 and 22 as reparations to the USSR .
