DB began developing control cab coaches for long-distance transport in the early 1990s. The first 75 control cab coaches were created from converting coaches out of the Halberstadt production.
After the delivery of the first two series, PFA Weiden began the production of twelve pressure-tight IC control cab coaches.These coaches were designated Bpmbdzf 297.3 to distinguish them from the "standard" version. After the first redesign in 2002/2003, the type number was changed from 297.3 to 296.3. The vehicles were fitted with a passenger information system and digital train destination displays on the outside.
