In the early 1920s, the Reichsbahn needed powerful electric locomotives to run express trains on the planned Bavarian network around Munich. As the first locomotives with the new Buchli single-axle drive, the Ae 3/6 I series, were proving very successful in Switzerland at the same time, the DRG ordered the first locomotives of a much heavier already in 1922. The 120 km/h locomotives achieved an hourly output of 2,340 kW. In its early years of service, the E 16 was used to haul high-value express trains from Munich. However, most of the time they hauled fast and express trains in Bavaria and to Austria.
