The Deutsche Reichsbahn feared that it would have fewer and fewer locomotives for use in its express trains due to the poor condition of some of its class 01s. It was therefore decided to rebuild the 01s, which also meant improving performance and eliminating technical faults, and this was particularly successful with this class. The new welded boiler was fitted with a third safety valve. All the boiler superstructures were clad, the cab was modernised and the Witte smoke deflectors were chamfered at the front.
01 529′ was fitted with a combustion chamber boiler, mixing preheater and main oil firing system in 1964. Its last station and place of service was Berlin-Schöneweide. It was taken out of service in July 1983.
