After the Second World War, 54 G 7.1 were in the territory of the Soviet occupation zone, among which were also locomotives of the Polish State Railways (PKP) which never received their intended German numbers. Following this, by the mid-50s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) returned all the Polish foreign locomotives and took the shut-down war-damaged locomotives out of service. The remaining small inventory of G 7.1 and G 7.2 was concentrated in the Erfurt Reichsbahn directorate (Rbd). In 1960, a total of 8 G 7.1 were home-based in the Erfurt P and Sangerhausen railway depots, and 6 G 7.2 were available besides these. The Erfurt machines ran in the secondary railway service on the Erfurt - Nottleben line in front of older 4-axle express Coach es, which looked quite bizarre. The 55 669 survived, and was early declared an historic tractive unit. Today it belongs to the inoperable inventory of the Dresden Transport Museum.
