Of this type of sleeping car is only one coach ever built. This coach, number 1825 was built in 1924 by Wegmann. It looked like a Hechtcoach but is was equiped with bogies of type "Görlitz I", instead of the in that time usual bogies of the American type. The interior of the coach was special, the coach a walkway in the middle with on both sides of this walkway sleeping cabins. In 1926 this coach was renumbered to number 18 800, in 1936 it was again renumbered to 36 045. This coach had a length of 23.500 mm with buffers included. This length became the standard length of Mitropa sleeping cars from 1939.
