The steam locomotives of the Württemberg Class C were built for the Royal Württemberg State Railways in the early 20th century and were Pacifics designed for hauling express trains. They were the smallest state railway Länderbahn locomotives with a 4-6-2 wheel arrangement.

The vehicles were built between 1909 and 1921 by the Maschinenfabrik Esslingen. They were designed from the outset for the terrain in Württemberg and therefore had driving wheels with only a 1,800 mm diameter. Despite being the smallest engines with a Pacific configuration, they were economical, yet at the same time very powerful. In all, 41 units of this class were manufactured.

The appearance of this locomotive is relatively unusual. Striking features include the outside subframe and the streamlined shape of the driver's cab, that resembles that of the Bavarian S 2/6. The locomotive was also known as "the beautiful Württemberg lass" (die schöne Württembergerin).

After the First World War, three engines had to be given to France and one to Poland and served as class Om101. The remaining 37 were taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn as DRG Class 18.1, where they were given the running numbers 18 101–137. They were even taken over by the Deutsche Bundesbahn, but retired by 1955. The last two examples were numbers 18 133 and 18 136, which were homed in Ulm towards the end.

The vehicles were equipped with wü 2'2' T 20 and wü 2'2' T30 tenders.
