This is/was Henschel & Sohn 26007/1941 (NOT 26087!) that was delivered and accepted in 04/1941 by the DRB - Deutsche Reichsbahn as No. 44 398 at Bw Göttingen, that found itself in the Soviet sector of what became East Germany in 1945 and therefore consequentially servered with the emerging DR - Deutsche Reichsbahn, also as No. 44 398. In 1966 it was called to the GDR Aw Meiningen for Conversion by the lReichsbahn with a welded replica boiler (Raw Halberstadt 383/1966) and oil main firing, and in 1970 renumberd as No. 44 0398-6. being withdrawn from running in 1982 after which it returned to Aw Meiningen for conversion into a coal-fired driveable a steam dispemser (as part of an L6 investigation) and again renumbered on this occasion as No. 44 2398-4. In 1986 it agan visited Aw Meiningen to remove the drive parts, new type as part of an investigation), and in 1988 leased to VEB pulp and paper factory Trebsen, Trebsen, East Germany] [as steam dispenser]. After another visit to Aw Meiningen it was retired, officially by DB, in 04/1990 following work as Dsp 1 at Bw Leipzig-Wahren until at least 1993. after which it is believed to have been scrapped.
