In 1971, VEB Waggonbau Görlitz delivered two prototypes of the double-deck single coach to the DR. The double-deck single coaches were expected to be more flexible in adapting to changing passenger volumes and reducing damage. After extensive testing of the two prototypes, the first series of around 138 vehicles was delivered from 1974 on. The lower floor of this coach was entirely fitted with seats. The coaches were initially used in southern urban centres and on busy lines.
