What was the purpose of the decorations on the locomotive?

Next day the last regular steam express will run on the line Trier- Koblenz.

I'm quite sur that the first two words on the tender are "Letzte Fahrt" = Last ride, maybe for a certain line. It certainly wasn't 01 150's last ride, she was taken out of service in November 1973. Furthermore she took part in both 100 (1935) and 150 (1985) years of railway in Germany festivities, and is operational again, after getting damaged in an engine shed fire in 2005.
