The class of locomotives P 0 of the Prussian State Railways was a splinter class with only one machine.
The tender passenger locomotive with the axle formula 1A1 was built by F. Wöhlert in 1874 for the Berlin-Görlitzer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft and had the serial number 549; it was delivered to the railway company together with an identical sister machine. There it was given the road number 59 and from then on was used in passenger train service.
In 1882 the Berlin-Görlitzer Railway became the property of the State of Prussia and thus became part of the Prussian State Railways ; the 14 existing 1A1 passenger locomotives were taken over, the previous number 59 was given the new operating number Berlin 68 . In the following years, the rapidly obsolete locomotives were gradually retired. When the designation scheme was introduced in 1905 , only the former number 59 was left, which was also the last 1A1 passenger locomotive of the Prussian State Railways. The generic name P 0 , corresponding to their low power, was introduced especially for them . It was given the new company number Berlin 1501 and was used in subordinate services at the Anhalter Bahnhof until 1908 . Then it was used as a heating locomotive in the main railway workshop in Tempelhof until 1910 , until it was finally sold for demolition in the winter of 1910/11.
