Whilst it belongs to DDM it left there in 2018 and is currently being restored to working order at Rottweil hopefully in time for its centenary. But covid and lack of funds probably means it will not be done in time. It may stay at Rottweil for at least five years.

The locomotive was originally KPEV Essen Division and, in 1925, became DRG No. 78 246, as it was also for DB from 1948.
