TheDR Class 167 is a train class that was built in 1938–1944, duringWorld War II andNazi Germany times. Because of the width restrictions for theNordsüd-S-Bahntunnel, 291 trains were delivered from 1937. Additionally, 72 trains were also delivered from 1938 to 1941, and in the end only 283 power cars were delivered.

20 percent of the trains were transported toMoscow in 1945. These trains were divided betweenEast Berlin andWest Berlin between 1961 and 1990, and after that the fleet was reformed again. All trains were deployed to the East Berlin area.

The modernisation plan calls for the replacement of Class 276.0 and 277. In November 2003, the last trains were retired, shortly after 95% of theClass 481s had entered revenue service.
