The prototype: The VT 137 "Stettin"

At the beginning of the 1940s, the DRG procured a total of 16 two-car multiple units for suburban traffic in the port city of Stettin. These trains were manufactured by WUMAG in Görlitz and were given the road numbers VT 137 331 to 376. They were designed for suburban services, but were no longer used due to the start of the war before the Second World War. Instead, the trains were kept in reserve for the Wehrmacht at stations of the RBD Stettin.

After the end of the war, nine of these railcars remained with the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR), four with the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) and one initially with the Czechoslovakian State Railways (CSD). DB put three of the vehicles back into service and renamed them VT45s at the end of the 1940s. These vehicles were finally taken out of service at the end of the 1960s. Five railcars (VT 137 329, 331, 367, 368 and 371) were recommissioned by the DR. They were used in Berlin, later in Halle and Dresden-Pieschen, before the last remaining vehicles were converted into sidecars.
