Baureihe (Class) 110 was the first electrical locomotive ever built for Deutsche Bundesbahn and thus the first West German electrical loco after the war. It was built by a consortium including Krauss-Maffei, Henschel and Krupp from 1957 through 1969 and is still in service with Deutsche Bahn's cargo daughter, DB Cargo.
