In 1908 the
superheated engine was designed for duties on Württemberg's main and branch lines and had the very long fixed wheelbase of 4,000 mm in order to give the locomotive smooth riding qualities. By 1920 a total of 96 engines had been manufactured. In 1919, three examples had to be give to France; the remaining 93 were taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn and 89 survived into the Deutsche Bundesbahn fleet. From 1959 they began to be retired. The last one was taken out of service in 1963 and was kept at Aulendorf
as a museum engine until 1968. This last example was then scrapped as well.
The Württemberg T 5 proved itself very well and was occasionally even used to haul expresses on the Gäubahn between Immendingen and Stuttgart. No locomotives have been preserved.
