In 1917 the Royal Saxon State Railways ordered Hartmann to build 20 locomotives based on the Prussian G 12.1. The engines were classified as the Saxon XIII H but had numerous improvements compared with their prototypes. They were given a larger total heating area, a bigger superheater area and new tubing. They were therefore heavier than the Prussian locomotives and were the first German locomotives to exceed 100 tonnes. They were supplied with sä 2'2' T 21 tenders.
The 20 locomotives were given railway numbers 1165–1184. After the First World War six units had to be given to France as reparations. The Deutsche Reichsbahn took over the remaining 14 vehicles as DRG Class 58.1 with operating numbers 58 101–114.
By the mid-1930s the German locomotives had been withdrawn from the fleet. During the Second World War the so-called 'loan locomotives' (Leihlokomotiven) with the SNCF, numbered 150 D 201 to 150 D 206, were returned to Saxony. They remained after the war and went into the DR. They were retired by 1951.
Like Prussia, after the initial series, Saxony only ordered further batches of its successor, the Prussian G 12, although it was also designated the Class XIII H.
