Class district

Class districts (German: Gattungsbezirke) were a classification system for railway goods wagons used by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (1920–1945) in Germany between the wars.

[1] After the Deutsche Reichsbahn had been founded in 1920, in 1921 all goods wagons types with the same or similar roles were grouped into so-called class districts.

These were named after cities that were the headquarters of a Reichsbahn division or, later, other cities too.

Work on re-lettering and renaming the wagons began in 1922 and was largely completed by 1924.
