163: 63: 386: 599:), the car body received the typical blue paint and the door handles were removed. The doors were opened and closed by the driver. The designation of the series was type В (the Cyrillic В , the third letter of the alphabet, arranged behind the then types А (railcar) and Б (B, control car), which had been built in 1930 for the opening of the Moscow metro). Until 1980, all other types were named in alphabetical order. 263: 22: 583:, these trains were primarily used on Line C. The reason for this was the danger of the connecting tunnel (Waisentunnel) that exists between Line D and E at Alexanderplatz. The BVG-West feared technology theft by the BVG-Ost, since they could have transferred a train to their rail network. Only with the delivery of the 560:
speaking, the vehicles would probably have arrived in Moscow, but the condition ensured that the two cars remained in Berlin. There they were processed and used again from 1953. The two cars usually operated as a separate two-car train and were parked around 1970. The scrapping took place in 1971 and 1975 respectively.

traction and a sidecar (Tw 111 and 112, Bw 268) - was built in 1930/31 by the coach factory Busch in Bautzen using aluminum profiles. The empty mass was thus about 12% less than the other C-cars. Externally, the train was noticeable through the tonneau roof and the more pronounced corners on the car body and window.

In 1930, the construction of the E line (now U5) revealed that the stock of CII cars would not be enough. Therefore, newly founded BVG in 1929 as the sole operator of the subway to other vehicles for the line. While the CIII are externally identical to the CII, they have some technical differences so

During the war, only one railcar, number 569, was destroyed. Another 69 motor coaches were shipped to the Soviet Union after 1945, where they were processed until 1949 and finally operated until 1965. The remaining in Berlin vehicles were processed after the war, renumbered in 1958 and reversed until

Another special feature in the structure was the cab, which could be folded away when needed to create more space. The partitions to the passenger compartment were moved over hinges, so that only the drive units for the passenger were not accessible. This was often used when the railcar in the middle

Before the end of the war, all the C cars were withdrawn from the line E after the fighting at Friedrichsfelde depot. Due to this circumstance, fifty Triebwagen and one Beiwagen trains remained with the West Berlin transport company, BVG, since they were responsible for the operation for line C and

Due to their length, only a maximum of four class CI could make up a with a total length of 73.6 m (241 ft 6 in). The total capacity of the train was thus only 650 passengers. To compensate for the calculated loss of 46 passengers, the vehicles were each equipped with three doors per

until 1965 and then were largely scrapped. A two-car train has been preserved at the Metro as a museum train. In 2003, another C-car was discovered in the St. Petersburg Metro, which was probably used there as a workshop train after the end of operations in Moscow. A car is still used today in the

car and side, so a total of 16 doors per train and side (as opposed to 12 doors per train and side at the BI car), which is a faster passenger change allowed. This, in turn, made faster orbital operation possible so that eventually the missing capacity could be compensated for by faster operation.

Following the successful testing of the CI cars, the North-South Railway ordered the construction of another 114 single wagons. Since the CII railcars were only partially motorized, so only a bogie was driven, these could not be coupled with sidecar, so that only railcars were constructed. In the

1938, the sidecar was rebuilt and provided with transverse seats of the arrangement 2 + 1. The railcars were also converted in 1944 and provided with a multiple AEG driving and braking control. Shortly before the end of the war, the sidecar was destroyed and the two railcars damaged. Technically

decommissioning, however, the two cars were adapted by vehicle technology to the CII cars, so that they could operate in conjunction with these. The cars were shut down in 1970 and 1975 and then scrapped. Since the Moscow CIII cars were also scrapped after the end of use, so no CIII is obtained.

In between 1926 and 1931 158 Trieb- und 13 Beiwagen were constructed. 108 Triebwagen and 12 Beiwagen were exported to Soviet Union occupation forces in 1945, which were stationed in the Friedrichsfelde workshop at that time. They were transported along the railway on orders of Soviet Union. The

Officially, only three different types of class C-cars existed. The original CI series cars delivered in 1926 were considered trial or test samples as almost each car differed in construction. The following CII and CIII types, however, were production vehicles. The final CIV type was initially

Of the vehicles designated as CI in 1926 a total of eight drive and eight sidecar, 1927 then again four drive and four sidecar delivered. The cars were coupled together in trains of four cars, so a total of six four-car trains. Structurally, the trains were very different from each other, for

During the Second World War, none of the 24 single wagons were destroyed, so that they could be used almost completely intact. Due to the order of the Soviet military administration to provide a total of 120 cars as reparations for the Moscow Metro, all vehicles of this series were loaded in
538:
Except for the railcar 519 all vehicles survived the Second World War. Of the 29 remaining vehicles 27 were then brought to Moscow, only the car 524 and 544 remained in Berlin. The two remaining Berlin railcars were rebuilt in 1952 to sidecar and reversed mixed with B-trains. In 1955, the

On the one hand, the new vehicles had a fully electric contactor control and a short-circuit brake. This was supplemented by a spring-loaded brake. The cars were also fully motorized, so had two powered bogies. For this, the engine power was reset from 100 kW to 70 kW.
634:
The remaining trains were progressively renumbered for the rest of the train cars into 13xx series in 1954. This is part of the uniform fleet for the Berlin U-Bahn. All the remaining CII, CIII and CIV trains were hence withdrawn from the West Berlin side in 1975.

Since the cars should not be used in conjunction with the B-cars, the electrical equipment was changed. A novelty were the self-closing compressed air doors, which previously did not occur in any other rapid transit system.
