Halberstadt am Harz was one of the last running sheds of the DR to be assigned the locomotive series 119. This was supposed to replace the last steam locomotives of the 50.35 series. The 50.35 rolled in Halberstadt until May 1988 and at the Oschersleben operating station even until October 1988, thus terminating the use of steam locomotives in all Germany. They were finally replaced by the 114 series. Already in 1989, also the last 119-series locomotives were relocated to Salzwedel; their second operating time did not begin until in 1998.
