The class 70.0 was a tender locomotive for light passenger trains. It was commissioned by the Royal Bavarian State Railways as the type Pt 2/3. Between 1909 to 1916, a total of 97 locomotives were constructed by Krauss in Munich. In order to optimise traffic on the local railways, a door was installed at the rear through which the stoker could enter the train to take over the conductor's duties. The doors were later partially removed to make room for a larger coal box. The unusually large distance between the driving and running axles of 4,000 mm is characteristic of this locomotive. It results in an economical but also economically expedient lightweight engine construction which proved outstanding in its design.
After the Second World War, the DB took over 89 of these locomotives, which were able to reach top speeds of up to 65 km/h, and used them on south German branch lines until the 1960s. The last locomotive was phased out in 1963.
