The 132 series locomotives (232, 233, 234 and 241) were imported from the Voroshilovgrad locomotive factory in the Soviet Union to the GDR in 1970 and put into service by the Deutsche Reichsbahn.
Following the decline in goods traffic after reunification, a significant number of diesel locomotives were identified as surplus to requirements. The class 132 locomotives (BR 232 since 1 January 1992) were gradually converted to the new class 234, using the 140 km/h bogies from the decommissioned class 130. From 1994 onwards, they were used in IR and IC services.
