The '''Saxon Class IX <math>\textstyle \mathfrak{V}</math>''' was a class of German, eight-coupled, tender locomotives built for the [[Royal Saxon State Railways]] (''Königlich Sächsische Staatseisenbahnen'') for [[goods train]] duties. 

== History ==
These [[steam locomotives]] were brought into service, after it was clear that the [[Saxon I V|Saxon Class I V]] (later DRG Class 55) could no longer the demands placed on it. The locomotive had a hollow, [[Klien-Lindner axle]] at the back and, initially, a long steam collection pipe above the centre of the [[boiler]] which was replaced on later models by two [[steam domes]] and a connecting pipe. Twenty machines were delivered by the firm of [[Sächsische Maschinenfabrik|Hartmann]] as wet steam engines, a further 30 with a ''Schmidt'' smoke tube [[superheater]].

The [[Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft|Deutsche Reichsbahn]] took over 16 of the first series and gave them the running numbers 56 501–56 516. Of the second batch, 25 were taken on with numbers 56 601–56 625.

The vehicle were coupled with [[tender (rail)|tender]]s of Saxon classes sä 3 T 9, sä 3 T 12 or sä 3 T 13.
