Based on: Alongside both of the first two E 19 locomotives already constructed by AEG, a further two locos were built in conjunction with Henschel and SSW. When they were first introduced into service in 1940, locos E 19 11 und 12 were prepared for experimental running up to 225 km/h. These electric locos were only allowed to run at 180 km/h for regular service, although the DRG were already planning a fast service timetable along the "axis of state" between Munich and Berlin. The innovative express vision for this "parade horse" came to grief, however, because of the second World War. The DB later reduced the top speed to 140 km/h. Right up to the introduction of the famous E 03, these 4 examples were the most powerful express electric locos on the DB. In their last year of service, these elegantly styled engines were based at the Nürnberg Hbf depot, hauling express trains to and from Munich and Probstzella.
