The prototype: Halberstadt coaches

The "Halberstädter" passenger coaches were originally designed for the Deutsche Reichsbahn and later taken over by Deutsche Bahn AG.

After reunification, these coaches were modernized, given new colors and integrated into the DB Regio service.

Typical features of the Halberstadt coaches are their continuous rain gutters, the robust bogies of the modified Görlitz V design and their striking paintwork in mint turquoise, pastel turquoise and light grey.

The railroad company: Deutsche Bahn AG

In Era V, Deutsche Bahn AG relied on the modernization of proven coaches such as the Halberstadt passenger coaches. These coaches were adapted to the requirements of modern local transport and played an important role in regional transport in the 1990s.
