In 1950, the Deutsche Bundesbahn still had approx. 100 locos of the G71 in their inventory, of which about half were operational. In addition to railway depots (Bw) in the Ruhr area (including Duisburg, Essen, Hamm and Oberhausen), the Bw Minden and Kaiserslautern also had several operational machines in their inventories. They were mostly used for shunting and transfer service. Since there was a sufficient amount of newer and more powerful machines for these services, the final units of the series were eliminated from the inventory by the mid-50s.
