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: AC voltage 15 kV/16⅔ Hz, CSSR: DC voltage 3 kV) and the full capacity of the electric locomotive manufacturer LEW in Hennigsdorf, the machines were built on the basis of the CSD series ES 499.1 and 499.2. However, the Skoda locomotive factory had not yet built a machine for the AC system 15 kV/16⅔ Hz, so the parts of the AC part were supplied from the GDR. Due to the CSD's requirements, Skoda thus received a double order for 15 BR 372 locomotives and 20 BR 230 locomotives for the DR. As part of the merger of the two German state railways, the German locomotives were given the new series designation 180 from 1991.
