The prototypes: D21b and BC21 standard compartment coaches

The D21b and BC21 standard compartment coaches were used by the German Federal Railroad in the middle of the 20th century. They were characterized by their robust steel construction and the typical compartment layout, which offered passengers comfort and privacy. These carriages were widely used in passenger transport and had a significant impact on the image of the railroad in Era III.

Era III: The time of reconstruction and modernization

Era III (1949-1970) was a phase of reconstruction and modernization in the German railroad system. After the destruction of the Second World War, many lines and vehicles were renewed or modernized. The D21b and BC21 standard compartment coaches are typical representatives of this period and reflect the state of the art and design of the time.
