Ardelt Type 0589 Rotary Steam Crane Railroads need cranes specially adapted to perfection for their requirements. These units must ensure appropriate maneuverability and mobility on the track with and without a load, efficient power for lifting, supporting, positioning, and excellent maneuverability even in tricky areas difficult to access. There was a lot to clear away in the Western Zones after World War II and the DRG thus ordered four steam cranes in 1948 from the firm Ardelt.
These units had a lifting capacity of 57 metric tons and were delivered in 1949. They were rostered by the just established DB as Essen 6660, Mainz 6600, München 6664, and Wuppertal 6602. The main tasks of these cranes were placing locomotives and cars on the track, bridge construction sites, and reloading. A reversible 75 horsepower two-cylinder steam engine in the steam-powered crane provided the required drive mechanism. All four cranes were retired in 1978/79, but the former "6600 Mainz" from the maintenance facility in Ludwigshafen remains preserved at the Auto & Technology Museum in Sinsheim.
