Prussian S 5
In the class S 5 different types of 2'B express train composite steam locomotives of the Prussian State Railways were combined. Some of the machines had two-cylinder and the other four-cylinder compound engines. The sub-genus S 5.2 was taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn as class 13.6–8 after 1924 .

First test locomotive from 1894
The first test locomotive of the class S 5.1 was built in 1894 based on the example of the express train locomotives developed by Alfred de Glehn for the French Northern Railway. A characteristic of this design was the four-cylinder compound engine, in which the outer cylinders drove the second and the inner cylinders the first coupled gear set. The locomotive with a driving wheel diameter of 2,150 mm was intended as a flatland express train locomotive. The locomotive supplied by Grafenstaden as Berlin 37 from 1894 remained a unique piece and was initially used as the court locomotive of the German emperor. From 1896 it was used as Erfurt 37 and later as S 5 Erfurt 501 on the Halle – Erfurt – Bebra line. The locomotive was initially very similar to its French models. In later modifications, the French driver's cab was replaced by a typically Prussian one and the boiler superstructures were brought into line with Prussian standards. The locomotive was retired in 1916.
The series locomotives
Since powerful express locomotives were still needed, the Prussian State Railroad procured a total of 22 additional de Glehn locomotives in 1902 and 1903 . They were delivered from Grafenstaden (ten pieces) and Henschel (twelve pieces) to the Altona, Erfurt and Magdeburg departments and used there in medium-heavy express train service. They had the driving wheel diameter of 1980 mm, which is common in Prussia. The decommissioning took place until 1920, one machine remained in Poland after the First World War (as the Pd3 series ).
The Reichseisenbahnen in Alsace-Lorraine also procured a total of 54 locomotives of this type between 1902 and 1913 (see Alsace-Lorraine S 5 ).
These machines were with slightly larger Tender respondents fitted the type 2'2 'T 16th

The vehicles of the Borries type , in which, in contrast to the de Glehn type, all four cylinders acted on the first coupling axle, were intended as a replacement for the S 3 machines . The Hanomag has made in the years 1900 to 1903, all 17 copies. They were intended for express train service on the Berlin – Stendal – Hanover route. Later they were also used on the routes leading to Bremen. A locomotive received a prize at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900 ; however, this design did not meet the expectations placed on it. When the Prussian S 7 was available, the S 5.1 was displaced on less important routes. Originally the machines had a dome-shaped main air tank behind the chimney, but after one of these had exploded, main air tanks were placed on the boiler.
The vehicles were taken out of service until shortly after the First World War and no longer made it to the Deutsche Reichsbahn .

Because the various locomotives of the class S 5.1 did not meet the expectations placed on them, AG Vulcan Stettin finally built the proven, but no longer sufficient, S 3 in a reinforced design, with a larger, higher-lying boiler and larger cylinders were used. These locomotives were initially designated as the reinforced S 3 , and from 1911 as the S 5.2 . Eight locomotives were accidentally run as S 3 even after 1911.
The Prussian State Railways acquired a total of 367 vehicles of this type, built by Vulcan and Schichau between 1905 and 1911 . The Lübeck-Büchener Eisenbahn also ordered seven copies and the Oldenburgische Staatsbahn 11. The latter were equipped with Lentz valve control (see Oldenburgische S 5 ).
In 1923 the Deutsche Reichsbahn had taken over 301 of the Prussian S 5.2 as 13 601–647 and 13 651–904 in their tracing plan , in 1925 200 received the operating numbers 13 651–850 . They were retired between 1928 and 1931.
During the Second World War , another 22 S 5.2s from Poland (PKP series Pd4 ) were added to the Reichsbahn's inventory as 13 002-021, 13 303 and 13 338. The locomotives that were in the GDR after 1945 were returned to Poland in 1955/56.
The locomotives were tenders equipped the type pr 2'2 'T 16 and pr 2'2' T 21.5.
The S 5.2 of the Lübeck-Büchener Railway
After the success of the S 5.2 at the Prussian State Railways , the Lübeck-Büchener Eisenbahn also procured locomotives of this type for express train traffic . A total of seven locomotives were built between 1907 and 1911, but in contrast to the Prussian S 5.2 they had a smaller, three-axle tender. Except for one, they were retired by 1931, only the last of the series was taken over by the Reichsbahn in 1938 and redrawn as 13 001 . It was lost in Poland in 1944.
