Museum für Meereskunde, Maritime museum in central Berlin, Germany

The Museum für Meereskunde contained four divisions: Imperial Navy, Historical Economic, Oceanological, and Biological and Fisheries collections within a chemical laboratory building.

Kaiser Wilhelm II and Prince Albert I of Monaco attended the official opening ceremony of the Museum für Meereskunde on March 5, 1906.

The museum featured extensive marine exhibits, including deep-sea samples from the Valdivia expedition and instruments used in ocean research methods.

The building sustained severe damage during World War II, leading to its closure in 1946, with remaining collections transferred to the Deutsches Technikmuseum.

The museum housed Germany's first submarine, the Brandtaucher, which now resides at the Military History Museum in Dresden.
