The electric locomotives of the E 44 series (from 1968 for the DB series 144 and from 1970 for the DR series 244 ) were designed by Walter Reichel in 1930 and, with their concept as multi-purpose locomotives that could be used in freight and passenger transport, the first machines were put into service by the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft in 1932. They were primarily intended for the route from Augsburg via the Geislinger Steige to Stuttgart , which was newly electrified from 1933. The last units went out of service in the 1990s.
