Prototype information

By 1921, eight builders had produced 1,168 units of the class G 12 for the Prussian State Railroad Administration (P.St.E.V.) and the DRG. Another 321 similar units went to other railroads. In 1925, the class G 12 was changed by the German State Railroad Company to the class 58, whereby the Prussian G 12 was given the class designation 5810-21. The German Federal Railroad still had 152 locomotives of this class on its roster in 1950.
