The G 12.1 class of the Prussian State Railways was the largest Prussian freight locomotive with a 1'E wheel arrangement. It had three cylinders, the two outer ones working on the third axis, the inner one on the second.

As early as 1913 there was a need for a more powerful freight locomotive in some of the Prussian State Railways' departments. It rose even more through the First World War ; at the same time, however, the delivery of the first locomotive by the Henschel works was delayed until 1915.

Between 1915 and 1917, 21 vehicles were built for Prussia and 12 for the Reichseisenbahnen in Alsace-Lorraine . All locomotives were built by Henschel . The Prussian locomotives went to the Erfurt, Cassel and Saarbrücken offices. Further procurement was then discontinued in favor of the G 12 .

The Deutsche Reichsbahn took over 15 vehicles from Prussia as class 58.0 and assigned them the road numbers 58 001-015. Most of the locomotives were retired by 1935. The 58 002 and 005 still came to the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR. The last one to be retired was 58 005 in 1957.

After the First World War, the Alsace-Lorraine machines were reinforced by five formerly Prussian G 12.1s and used in front of heavy coal and ore trains. The SNCF designated them 150-B-546-562 and scrapped them by 1955.

The vehicles were with a Tender respondents fitted the type pr 2'2 'T 21.5.

different tech. Data

The Royal Saxon State Railways had 20 locomotives built by Hartmann in 1917 based on the model of the Prussian G 12.1. The vehicles designated as type XIII H were reinforced in many places compared to the original, received an enlarged total heating surface, an enlarged superheater heating surface and new piping. This made it heavier than the Prussian locomotives. With a service weight of 101.1 t, it was the first German freight locomotive over 100 t. As a Tender the design was sä 2'2 'T 21 used.

The 20 locomotives were given the track numbers 1165–1184. After the First World War, six copies had to be given to France as reparations. The Deutsche Reichsbahn took over the remaining 14 vehicles as class 58.1 with road numbers 58 101–114.

The German locomotives were no longer available until the mid-1930s. During the Second World War , the machines designated by the SNCF as 150 D 201 to 150 D 206 came back to Saxony as so-called loan locomotives . They stayed with the DR after the war and were retired in 1951.

Like Prussia, Saxony only procured this successor design after the appearance of the Prussian G 12 , which was also designated as genus XIII H.
