The German Federal Railway was an early adopter of smaller shunting locomotives for shunting passenger and freight cars in stations. A further development of the Köf 11, with power transmission via cardan shafts and additional axle gears, was presented by Gmeinder in 1965. 251 shunting locomotives of this version, initially known as the Köf 12, were delivered to the German Federal Railway as the 333 series. In order to make personnel savings possible, a large proportion of the locomotives were equipped with radio remote control from the end of the 1980s. These locomotives were designated as class 335. The locomotives have gone through several color variations over time, and from 1986 onwards oriental red became the standard color.
