The V 100 of the railway company of the German Democratic Republic, often referred to as the "V 100 East", was one of the most important diesel locomotives in the medium power range of the former GDR. It was developed from the early 1960s onwards to gradually replace older steam locomotives in train transport.A total of over 1,100 locomotives of this class were built between 1966 and 1985 at the VEB Lokomotivbau Karl Marx factory in Babelsberg. The individual classes differed in specific details. For instance, the front ends and roofs of the first locomotives (V100 003 – 043) were differed visually from those of the later class locomotives. Especially in the early days, the machines were given special paintwork, which made them stand out for railway fans from the otherwise rather uniform fleet.
