The n-coaches of the Deutsche Bundesbahn were known for decades as "Silberlinge". With over 5,000 units built, this family of coaches became the dominant design for DB local coaches from the 1960s onwards. It was not until the 1990s that they were gradually replaced by multiple units and double-decker coaches.
Typical features of the design from the 1970s to 1990s were the ocean blue longitudinal beams, the large class numbers and the pictograms. The prototypes were based in Freiburg im Breisgau. From there they were used on the Rhine Valley Railway between Basel and Karlsruhe, but also on the Höllental Railway and diesel-hauled to Breisach and Elzach.
