The 2-10-0 arrangement was a very popular one in Germany. The first were built by the individual state railways from 1915 to 1918, and these later became the [[Deutsche Reichsbahn|DRG]] [[Prussian G 12|BR58]]. The DRG then produced a number of standard classes of 2-10-0s: the heavy 3-cylinder [[DRG Class 44|BR44]] (1753 built), the two-cylinder version [[DRG Class 43|BR43]] (35 built), and the lightweight [[DRB Class 50|BR50]] (3164 built). During wartime, the BR44 and BR50 designs were simplified as ÜK (''Übergangs Kriegslokomotiven'', or interim war locomotives). By 1941, it was clear that even these were too complicated, expensive, time-consuming to build, and used too much material in short supply, so new ''[[Kriegslokomotive]]'' (war locomotive) designs were developed: the lightweight [[DRB Class 52|BR52]] (7794 built) and the intermediate weight [[DRG Class 42|BR42]] (859 built).

Postwar locomotives of these types, particularly the BR 52, were spread all over Europe and were taken into service by the railways of many different countries:
* BR44 in France, [[SNCF 150X]].
* BR50 in Belgium, [[National Railway Company of Belgium|NMBS/SNCB]] class 25; in Denmark, [[DSB (railway company)|DSB]] class N.
* BR52 in Austria, [[Austrian Federal Railways|ÖBB]] class 52; in Belgium, NMBS/SNCB class 26; in Norway, [[Norwegian State Railways (1883–1996)|NSB]] Class 63.
