In the second half of the 19th century, the K.W.St.E. was considered one of the most modern railways in Europe. At the time, only a few European railways decided to use the American system "Bogie Intercommunication Coaches". The culmination and, at the same time, the end of this development was the construction of the Württemberg express train coaches by the Maschinenfabrik Esslingen in 1909. The coach assemblies were normalised and met rigorous technical standards, which was characteristic of them. The coaches were mainly used in Württemberg express trains on the lines from Stuttgart to Zurich, Friedrichshafen to Cologne, and Stuttgart to Nancy for a time. As through coaches, they travelled throughout Germany and half of Europe.
