N electric railcar ET 91 01 of DB
In order to make travel and excursion traffic more attractive for the German population at the beginning of the 1930er, the then German State Railroad Company (DRG) decided to build a total of five observation cars. At the time, it was important for the DRG to be able to offer Paroli to the increasingly competitive bus and coach travel. The aim of the construction of the railcars was to allow all passengers a free and unobstructed view of the landscape. In addition to three diesel-hydraulic vehicles, two were ordered for electrical operation. For the mechanical part, the H. Fuchs Wagzonfabrik in Heidelberg, Germany, supplied the electrical part by AEG, Berlin.
Both ET 91 01 and 02 railcars, which have received the sound name “glass train” from the population, quickly established themselves among passengers. Popular excursion trips were the Karwendel tour via Mittenwald to Innsbruck or the Alpine tour via Salzburg, Bischofshofen and Kufstein to Munich.
