The company was founded as Jung & Staimer OHG on February 13, 1885 by Arnold Jung and Christian Staimer. The first locomotive was delivered on September 3, 1885 . In 1913 the company was renamed Arnold Jung Lokomotivfabrik GmbH, Jungenthal . In 1976, locomotive production was given up in favor of other products such as machine tools , transport vehicles, armor plates, cranes and jibs.

Production was stopped on September 30, 1993 and the factory closed. However, Jung-Jungenthal GmbH still exists as "Jungenthal Wehrtechnik GmbH", which has been part of Flensburg vehicle construction since 2007 . Today there is a discount grocery store on the open-air site next to the locomotive factory.

A total of more than 12,000 locomotives were manufactured - including the 23 105 the last new steam locomotive delivered to the DB in 1959 - plus steam boilers for other fields of application such as road rollers.

  • L 10 B: Two-axle locomotive with an end driver's cab, jackshaft and coupling rods. Track width 750 mm, length overhang 6100 mm, width 2100 mm. Several of these machines were in use at Farbwerke Hoechst . With the road number 22-03 one of the 77.3 kW locomotives is now on the Jagst Valley Railway .
  • L 40: Four-axle locomotive with a center driver's cab, wheel arrangement BB, track width 1000 mm. The machine has a 250 HP diesel engine under each front end. Built for a railroad in Brazil , the locomotive with the serial number 12022, built in 1955, instead went to a cement factory in Finland , then in 1972 to Switzerland to the Luzern-Stans-Engelberg-Bahn (LSE), where it got the road number Gm 4/4 111 received.
A sister locomotive built in 1966, which also initially ran in Finland, has a slightly more powerful motor and is now in operation as the Gm 4/4 70 on the Matterhorn-Gotthard-Bahn (MGB).

Light rail locomotives with internal combustion engines

Pneumatic locomotives

Pz 20 compressed air locomotive in the Feldbahn-Museum 500

Jung built for mines also drive vehicles with compressed air drive . The Nuremberg Feldbahn-Museum 500 houses a Pz 20 locomotive (two axles, 500 mm gauge), which was built in 1955 and was delivered that year as locomotive 11 to the Pluto colliery of Ruhrkohle AG in Wanne-Eickel .

Standard gauge vehicles

Steam locomotives

In addition to his own developments, Jung was also involved in the construction of standard locomotives.

Steam storage locomotives

Young steam storage locomotive

Jung built fireless steam storage locomotives for factory traffic . Locomotive 2 (serial number 3239) was built in 1921 and was delivered to the Bremen wool combing factory in 1922 . The B-coupled 150  hp engine was in operation there until at least 1970.
In 1925 the locomotive with the serial number 3438 went to the monopoly administration for spirits in Berlin-Reinickendorf .

In 1937 the Margarine Union in Hamburg received an unusual steam storage locomotive with cylinders in the front and exhaust steam duct through a chimney , which was refurbished and has been preserved in a museum.

Between 1938 and 1943 Jung was involved in the construction of the Wehrmacht locomotives WR 200 B 14 (later V 20 of the DB) and WR 360 C 14 (later V 36). A surviving example of a WR 200 B 14 built by Jung is the V 20 020 of the Historical Railway Working Group in Segeste .

After the Second World War , Jung tried to create a new mainstay in diesel locomotive construction based on the WR 360 C 14 with the types R 361 C and R 362 C. Of these regular-gauge locomotives ( ERR class 4211 ), however, only a total of 42 machines could be sold to the Egyptian State Railways . Jung only achieved notable success with the new industrial types RK 20 B and R 40 C.

  • DN 233: This is a two-axle diesel locomotive for shunting operations . The first three machines were built in 1939 and 1943, another six followed between 1950 and 1961.
  • VN 234 : Two-axle shunting locomotive, 9 copies, built from 1939 to 1958.
  • ZN 233: two-axle shunting locomotive, 15 copies, built from 1939 to 1958.
  • RK 8 B : Two-axle locomotive with the B wheel arrangement, length over the buffers (LüP) 5770 mm, service weight 15 t, power 58 kW. The machine with the serial number 14128 was delivered as locomotive 1 to the Portland cement factory in Bonn-Oberkassel in 1972 . The locomotive has been running as D 8 on the Brohltalbahn since 2005 .
  • RK 12 B: B wheel arrangement, 6880 mm long, service weight 24 t, power 88 kW. The machine with the serial number 12749 was delivered to the monopoly administration for spirits in Berlin-Reinickendorf in 1957.
  • RK 15 B: The two-axis B-coupler is 6450 mm long over buffers, it has a service weight of 24 t and has an output of 110 kW. In 1960 the West Berlin company Bewag received a copy for its Oberhavel power station (factory no. 13284, company no. 2).
  • RK 20 B: B-coupled diesel locomotive with a terminal driver's cab , in 1952 such a machine was acquired as No. 5 by Gelsenberg Petrol AG in Gelsenkirchen-Horst . The Osthavelländische Eisenbahn (OHE) in Berlin-Spandau also had an RK 20 B with the DL 2, and another (company number 3) went to the Neukölln industrial railway in 1953.
  • RC 24 B: Locomotives 5 to 7 of the Berlin gas works Mariendorf were B-coupled machines of this type. They were built in 1966 and 1968, were 6,840 mm long over buffers, had a service weight of 30 t and had an output of 184 kW.
  • R 30 B
  • R 30 C : One of the C-couplers with a terminal driver's cab was delivered to the Birkenfeld Railway in 1956 , another in 1959 to the Merzig-Büschfeld Railway . A total of eleven locomotives of this type were built.
  • R 40 C : The diesel-hydraulic locomotive with a central driver's cab and the C wheel arrangement is 9800 mm long over buffers, its service weight is 45 t. It is powered by a supercharged MAN - Diesel engine W8V 17.5 / 22A with a power of 440 hp. Power is transmitted by means of a jackshaft and coupling rods . The maximum speed is 60 km / h.
    On June 15, 1956, Jung delivered such a machine to the Federal Ministry of Defense for a price of DM 240,950 . Since the Bundeswehr gave preference to the R 42 C, the locomotive with the no. 12348 remained a unique piece there.
    The Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) took over four locomotives of this type in the 1980s for the Berlin S-Bahn, which was then operated by municipalities . You were previously with the port and railway companies of the city of Krefeld (BVG No. 5073, built in 1959 and BVG 5074, built in 1958), the Tecklenburger Nordbahn (BVG 5075, built in 1956) and the Bremervörde-Osterholzer Eisenbahn (BVG 5076, Bj. 1959) used.
  • R 42 C : The main difference between the locomotive and the R 40 C is that the wheelbase is sixty centimeters shorter. It was mainly intended for shunting use in the factory. 42 of the machine were built between 1955 and 1962.
    With seven locomotives taken over, the Bundeswehr was the largest buyer of the R 42 C. The Siegener Kreisbahn and the Kleinbahn Weidenau – Deuz each received four copies, the Freie Grunder Eisenbahn one. With the DL 3, an R 42 C came to the OHE in West Berlin in 1955.
  • RC 43 C : wheel arrangement C, length overhang 8640 mm, service weight 48 t, 305 kW. In 1970 the industrial railway Neukölln acquired the machine with the serial number 14040 as locomotive 5.
  • R 60 D : four-axle rod locomotives with a length of overhang of 9900 mm, 60 t service weight and an output of 650 kW. The OHE received machines No. 4 (1960), 5 (1963) and 6 (1966) from Jung.
  • RC 70 : The RC 70 is a four-axle bogie locomotive with the B'B 'wheel arrangement. It is 12,240 mm long, weighs 76 t and has an output of 773 kW. The single piece was put into service by the OHE in June 1972.

Other standard gauge designs were the ZN 113, VN 234, RK 11 B and RK 24 B.
Like other locomotive factories, Jung also built small locomotives of performance group II (Kö II and Köf II; internal designations NDR 130 and VN 134) as well as locomotives of the DB series Köf III and V 100 .

Diesel shunting trucks or shunting stands

  • EN 112: also for track width 1524 mm, length overhang 4250 mm, wheelbase 1600 mm, weight 5 t, 10/11 HP, years of construction 136–60, 16 copies

Locomotive 4 of the Siemens freight railway with thyristor pulse control, 1988

In 1958, Jung built two electric locomotives in collaboration with the Société Anonyme des Ateliers de Sécheron for the Norwegian Rjukanbanen (Rj.B.) , which were given the company numbers 9 and 10.

The Siemens freight railway in Berlin-Siemensstadt received a two-axle electric locomotive from Jung in December 1965. The twin-engine vehicle with the factory number 13832 and the road number 4 was the first locomotive with catenary control and thyristor pulse control . It was operated with a direct voltage of 550 V, had an hourly output of 238 kW, was 7.6 m long and weighed 42 t.

Two-engine locomotives

With the serial number 12800, Jung delivered a two-power locomotive in 1957 , which can run electrically under contact wire as well as diesel-electric , to the joint operation railway and ports in Duisburg-Hamborn . The locomotive used with the number EH 107 is preserved at the German Works Railway Museum in Aschersleben . The sister machine EH 116 of the type ED 80 t from 1959 has the serial number 13065.
