Thank you for finding that out - mystery solved!  The note "D" in the Platform 5 book indicating "Departmental Use" must be what this entry on the web site for 2005 refers to "... equipment in internal use", evidently sold into private ownership in 2016:

 

Einsatz im Kombiwerk Saarbrücken, Saarbrücken [als Gerät im internen Verschub]

 

Interesting that the private owner has retained the automatic coupling; I wonder what he uses the loco for?  I presume the clue as to private ownership (which I had overlooked previously) is in the NVR number.  Otherwise, it seems to have been very nicely restored to early DB livery.

 

Edit:  Just looked more closely at the pictures on the linked web site, and the most recent ones of it in DB service show a different kind of auto coupling.  Some of the ones of it in private ownership (with new coupling) show it at Bad Herrenalb station, surrounded by Karlsruhe trams - perhaps it is used on that system in some capacity, although there also seem to be summertime steam passenger trains from there:
