The “Holzroller”, as the electric locomotives of Class E 11/E 42 were also nicknamed, were supplied to the Deutsche Reichsbahn by VEB Lokomotivbau-Elektrotechnische Werke “Hans Beimler” in Henningsdorf from 1961 onwards. After 1970 the locomotives were then re-designated according to the valid regulations as Class 211/242 and for a long time they were the backbone of electric train transport at the DR. The 242 124-6 based at the roundhouse Weißenfels has a special livery version as one of the first red electric locomotives of the Reichsbahn, which only a few 211 locomotives had in similar form.
