About Age coaches:

Age coaches belong to the family of standard “Einheitswagen” introduced in the late 1920s by Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft. These all-steel coaches represented a major advancement in passenger comfort and became a dominant feature of long-distance trains for decades.

In East Germany, Deutsche Reichsbahn continued to use these riveted steel coaches longer than their West German counterparts due to a shortage of newer rolling stock. As a result, they remained in service well into Era IV, appearing in express and fast train services.
