Quotation: For train combinations of class BE the following condition applies from 19.1.2013: The zGM of the trailer must not exceed 3,5 t, otherwise the class C1E is required. The regulation valid until 19.1.2013, that with the class BE also trailers with a zGM > 3,5 t can be driven (e.g. so-called mini-sattelkfz), remains for the owners of class BE, to which this driving licence was granted before 19.1.2013. (This results in the limitation of the zGM only by means of the legal regulations and technical limits of the construction and operating regulations of the StVZO road traffic registration regulations).
