History of the locomotive:

There are no tracks from this locomotive to find until 1933. From 1933 on it was inventoried by the company Tischauer. Afterward it was property of the company Gatty-Bidal until 1975, which sold it to 2 volunteers from the Chemin de Fer Touristique de la Vallée de la Doller (CFTVD). These volunteers were later founding members of our association and brought it in 1982 to Cernay.

The general state of the locomotive war a pitty and only in 1988 after a lot of working hours on it could be christened, getting the name from the wife of the mayor Mr. Mann from Volgelsheim. Mr. Mann did also a lot for the salvage of the railway station of Volgelsheim.
