Historical Background

The DB Class 111 was developed as a versatile electric locomotive for passenger services, building on experience gained with the successful Class 110. The class was particularly well suited to regional passenger operations and became a familiar sight on push-pull services across Germany.

Locomotive 111 017 was given the name “Maxl” and received the striking Bahnland Bayern design in the Bavarian state colours of blue and white. The locomotive served as a travelling advertisement for the quality of local and regional passenger transport in Bavaria. The design was initiated by the Bayerische Eisenbahngesellschaft (BEG), which plans, commissions, finances and monitors regional passenger rail services in Bavaria on behalf of the Free State of Bavaria.
