The German State Railroad of East Germany purchased new passenger cars at the start of the Sixties. The car family corresponded to the type B of the OSShD (Association of East European Railroads). The type Y cars developed further from this design were placed into service in large numbers. The parabola shaped roof is typical for this family of cars. The builder Waggonbau Bautzen was responsible for building the cars. Large series of these cars were delivered not just to the DR, but also to most of the other East European railroads.
