The Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) BR 52 (Baureihe 52, Class 52) Kriegslok (war locomotive) is a class of 2-10-0 German steam locomotive built in large numbers during the Second World War. They were a wartime development of the pre-war DRG BR 50, designed down to use less expensive materials. DRG constructed over 6000 in the period 1942-1945.
53 were built for Turkish Republic Railways, forming the TCDD 56501 Class.
Several have been preserved. One of these is preserved on the Nene Valley Railway in Peterborough, England.
