The DRG Class E93 is an electric heavy freight locomotive built by AEG for Deutsche Reichsbahn's in 1933. Its development was triggered by the electrification of the Geislinger Steige, a steep grade of the mainline railroad between Stuttgart and Ulm, which had been electrified in 1933 and required powerful new freight locomotives to overcome it with heavy freight trains. The 18 ordered units were delivered between 1933 and 1937.
