On the occasion of the Olympics in Berlin a number of German State Railroad Company locomotives were decorated with the Olympic rings on both sides of their tenders. The "Beautiful Lady of Württemberg" no. 18 137, formerly C 2041 of the Royal Württemberg State Railroad (K.W.St.E.) was one of them. The prototype of this locomotive was built by the Esslingen Machine Company in 1921 and was one of a total of 14 locomotives of this design of which there is unfortunately not one unit preserved today.
