The class 115 is a variant model of the class 110. The class 110 was developed as a universal locomotive for passenger and goods train services on main and branch lines of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR. To enable the locomotives to haul heavier trains, the DR installed in some of the locomotives more powerful motors with an output of 1,100 kW (1,500 hp). The locomotives were then re-designated as class 115. Somewhat later, the DR combined them with the 114 class. The class designation 115 was kept for planned new locomotives.
