In the 1960s, the Deutsche Bundesbahn created with the class E 03 the most powerful electric passenger locomotive ever built. Altogether 145 locomotives of the later designated class 103 were delivered from 1970 until 1974. Up to now, the locomotive class 103 is considered one of the most elegant locomotives in the railway world. From 1987, with the introduction of the new DB colour concept, most locomotives were painted in orient red with a white bib below the windscreen.
