Battery-powered railcar operation was introduced in Germany before the First World War. The two-part battery-operated bus of the "Wittfeld" type, whose batteries were housed in the striking stalks, was in use until after the Second World War. After 1945, the Deutsche Bundesbahn began operating this type of driving again. The ETA 176 made a name for itself as the “Limburg cigar,” but only eight were built. From 1953, the cheaper ETA 150, which had approximately the same performance characteristics, was put into service in large numbers. A total of 232 units of the ETA 150 (515 series from 1968) were built until 1965. Additionally, 216 ESA 150 (later 815 series) control cars were commissioned.
