Details

In 1971, VEB Waggonbau Görlitz delivered two prototype double-decker single coaches to the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR, East German Railways). Designed to provide greater flexibility in handling fluctuating passenger volumes and to reduce costs in the event of damage, these innovative coaches underwent extensive testing before full production began. From 1974, an initial series of around 138 vehicles was delivered. The lower deck of each coach was fully fitted with seating, making them ideal for busy routes and southern metropolitan areas. These carriages were also incorporated into Berlin’s local transport network, where they featured a distinctive red and beige livery and earned the affectionate nickname “Sputnik.”
