From 1928 onwards, a total of 520 locomotives of the 64 series were put into service. The 90 km/h locomotives were built on the design principle of the standard steam locomotives, which made the supply of spare parts easier. The locomotives were mainly used on branch lines and to transport passenger trains and light freight trains.

At the time of the changeover to computer numbers on January 1, 1968, the German Federal Railway still had 52 units in its maintenance inventory. In contrast to the DR locomotives, which were mainly used in the northern lowlands, the 64s of the Federal Railway were used exclusively south of the Main line after 64 446 was transferred from the Hamburg-Rothenburgsort depot to the Plattling depot on 30 April 1966.
