Almost 200 class E 44 electric locomotives were put into service between 1932 and 1954. The locomotives integrated into the Central German network after the end of the war, had to be handed over in May 1945 to the USSR as part of the reparations after the electric operation was discontinued. In 1952, the GDR was able to buy back the majority of the locomotives. A total of 46 locomotives were refurbished at Raw Dessau and put into service from 1955. Between 1961 and 1964, the DR equipped the locomotives with RBS 58 pantographs with a double rocker. This meant that they could be operated with only one pantograph raised.
