In the 1980s, the DR purchased electric dual-system locomotives in order to simplify the constantly growing traffic and operational processes in cross-border traffic between the GDR and Czechoslovakia. Due to the lack of experience in the field of dual-system technology (GDR: alternating current 15 kV/16⅔ Hz, ČSSR: direct current 3 kV) and the full capacity of the electric locomotive manufacturer LEW in Hennigsdorf, the machines were based on the ČSD series ES 499.1 and 499.2. However, the Škoda locomotive factory had not yet built a machine for the 15 kV/16⅔ Hz AC system, so the parts for the alternating current section were supplied from the GDR. Due to the ČSD's requirements, Škoda thus received a double order for 15 BR 372 locomotives and 20 BR 230 locomotives for the DR.
