The Prussian freight locomotive of the genus G81, later series 55 25-56, a smooth-running superheated steam locomotive (D h2), was with about 5,000 copies of the most-used locomotive locomotive ever. In the stock of Deutsche Reichsbahn 3,122 pieces were taken.
Due to the missing leading axle, however, it was only 55 km / h fast and, due to the high axle load of 17.6 t, was not approved for secondary lines. To eliminate these disadvantages, the DRG decided to rebuild the machine. The locomotive received a front axle, boiler and chassis were adjusted so that the maximum speed could be increased to 70 km / h and the locomotive could now also be used in passenger train service.
In the period from 1934 to 1941 691 machines were rebuilt and classified to distinguish them from the original type as series 56 2-8 (Prussian G81 with barrel axis). The German Federal Railways has taken over 368 copies in their inventory.
