Highlights
German submarine U-995
U 995 is a German Type VII C / 41 U-boat used during World War II by the German Navy. In service since September 1943, he completed nine missions. At the end of the war the Norwegian Navy took possession of it. In 1965 it returned to Germany with official handover on October 2, 1971, and from March 13, 1972 it became a museum ship at the foot of the Laboe Naval Monument. The submarine is visited by around 350,000 people every year.
Kiel
Kiel is the city and the capital of Schleswig-Holstein Land (state), northern Germany. Kiel is a port on both sides of the Kiel Fjord, an inlet of the western Baltic Sea, and lies at the eastern end of the Kiel Canal.
Kiel Canal
The Kiel Canal is a 98-kilometre-long (61 mi) freshwater canal in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. The canal was finished in 1895, but later widened, and links the North Sea at Brunsbüttel to the Baltic Sea at Kiel-Holtenau. An average of 250 nautical miles (460 km) is saved by using the Kiel Canal instead of going around the Jutland Peninsula. This not only saves time but also avoids storm-prone seas and having to pass through the Sound or Belts.
Laboe Naval Memorial
The Laboe Naval Memorial (a.k.a. Laboe Tower, German: Marine-Ehrenmal Laboe) is a memorial located in Laboe, near Kiel, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Started in 1927 and completed in 1936, the monument originally memorialized the World War I war dead of the Kaiserliche Marine, with the Kriegsmarine dead of World War II being added after 1945. In 1954 it was rededicated as a memorial for the sailors of all nationalities who were lost at sea and at the same time a memorial for peaceful sailing in open seas.
Levensau High Bridge
The Levensau High Bridge is a high level arch bridge that spans the Kiel Canal in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. A second bridge nearby, opened 1984, is referred to as Levensau Motorway Bridge (German: Levensauer Schnellstraßenbrücke)
