103 167-3, built 1971 by Krauss-Maffei and Siemens. Based until 1974 in München, from 1974 to 1988, 1990 to 1999 and 2000 to 2003 Frankfurt (Main) 1, from 1988 to 1990 and 1999 to 2000 Hamburg-Eidelstedt, retired 2003, still carrying its original paint. At some point the cab received new paint (this could be RAL 1014 ivory instead of RAL 1001 beige). 32 years isn't the longest in service but the class 103 was used very heavily with long distances every day, so it was worn out, replaced by ICE and class 101. The only measure taken when putting this locomotive into the museum was cleaning the body, so it appears "right out of service" without any embellishments. Lokwelt Freilassing, 2013-08-11.
