In 1933 the [[Gernrode-Harzgerode Railway Company]] (GHE) bought this twin-axled, [[narrow gauge]] [[railbus]] from ''Waggonfabrik Dessau'' and classified it as '''GHE T 1''' within its vehicle fleet. The vehicle remained a one-off; bus services were more important to the GHE. After the [[Second World War]] the railbus remained at [[Eisfelder Talmühle]] station and as a result evaded Russian reparation measures. In the time that followed, it was redesignated as VT 133 522, and took over the traffic on the remaining section of the [[Selke Valley Railway]] between Eisfelder Talmühle and [[Hasselfelde]]. Later it returned to duties on its home line between [[Gernrode]] and [[Straßberg (Harz)]], but was only used as a tool wagon. With its 34 seats and 10 standing places it was just too small. In 1972 it was given its present-day computerised number of '''187 001''' by the [[Deutsche Reichsbahn (GDR)]] in [[East Germany]]. Today the [[Harz Narrow Gauge Railways]] uses it exclusively for railway specials.

Currently (2007) the vehicle is stabled as its licence has expired.
