The locomotives with the lane numbers 11 to 14 (in the second band) were hot steam - Tenderlokomotivem the Eutin-Lübeck railway (ELE). The locomotives delivered by Henschel between 1924 and 1929 had a 1'C1 ' wheel arrangement and were intended for passenger train service. The locomotives were not based on the 1'C1 'locomotives that had been tried and tested on some regional railways , but were a new design.

In 1936, the maximum permissible speed of the locomotives was increased from 80 km / h to 90 km / h, which made it possible to use them in express train service .

The Deutsche Reichsbahn took over the ELE in 1941 and assigned the locomotives with the numbers 75 631–634 to the DR class 75.6 . The 75 633 remained in the GDR after the Second World War and was retired in 1960. The other three locomotives were taken over by the Teutoburg Forest Railway in 1946 , from where the 75 634 later went to the Farge-Vegesacker Railway . This locomotive was retired in 1971 and is preserved in a museum.

Prignitz Railway

More than ten years after the ELE locomotives had been designed, Prignitzer Eisenbahn AG (PE) purchased two of this type in 1936. They received the track numbers 8 and 9 in a second occupation. The locomotives were around ten tons lighter than the ELE machines, the impeller diameter was reduced to 850 mm and the boiler pressure was increased from 13 to 14 bar.

The Reichsbahn took over PE in 1941 and gave the locomotives the numbers 75 611 and 75 612. They came to the DR after the war and were retired in 1951 (75 611) and 1968.

Mecklenburg Friedrich Wilhelm Railway

In 1936 the Mecklenburgische Friedrich-Wilhelm-Eisenbahn (MFWE) procured two locomotives of the type supplied to PE and two other machines of the same type from Schwartzkopff from Henschel . They received the numbers 29 to 32 in a second occupation.

The Reichsbahn also took over the MFWE in 1941 and gave the locomotives the numbers 75 621 to 75 624. They came to the DR after the war. The 75 624 had to be given to the Soviet Union in 1946 as a reparation payment;

Wittenberge-Perleberger Railway

The Wittenberge-Perleberger Eisenbahn (WPE), which is adjacent to the Prignitzer Eisenbahn, also acquired a locomotive of this type in 1937. It received the number 111 and after the takeover of the railway by the Reichsbahn the number 75 613. It came to the DR and was retired in 1960.
