The first four steam locomotives designated as Class B IX by the Royal Bavarian State Railways were procured from the locomotive works of Strousberg. They were transferred in 1872 to the Imperial Railways in Alsace-Lorraine. For the remainder, see Bavarian B IX.

They were equipped with tenders of Class 3 T 10.
