The new class 22 was created from the class 39.0-2 steam locomotives as part of the so-called reconstruction programme of the railway company of the German Democratic Republic starting in 1958. The previous machines had the major disadvantage that their boilers and technical design did not produce enough steam for the required output. A total of 85 locomotives were converted to class 22. During this conversion, the locomotives were given an extended frame, modified driver's cabs and new welded cylinders.In addition to normal passenger transport, the German State Railway also used class 22 in high-speed express train service in routes with class 01. However, as the locomotives were not designed for such loads, problems began to arise in the fleet of machines that were later redesignated as class 39.10 in accordance with the EDP numbering scheme. By 1970, only a few locomotives were still in service at the Halberstadt and Saalfeld departments before they were taken out of service in 1971.
