The SStB - Meidling, Höllenthal and Neunkirchen were steam locomotives of the Southern State Railway (SStB) of Austria-Hungary .

The three locomotives were supplied by the WRB locomotive factory in 1856. In contrast to the previously delivered machines with a front bogie, these three locomotives did not have inclined cylinders. Rather, these were arranged in front of the bogie.

The locomotives of this series came to the Südbahngesellschaft in 1858 as part of the privatization of Austrian State Railways , which initially assigned them the numbers 247–249 and the series number 6 . In 1864 they were renumbered and were now 249 to 251. In the same year they were given the new series designation 12 . The retirement took place until 1890.
