Dock C, Maritime testing facility in Kiel, Germany
The architectural structure extends 74 meters in length and features a substantial pressure chamber designed for submarine examinations.
Built in 1967 by Flender-Werke Lübeck, Dock C functioned as a critical testing facility for submarines until its decommissioning in 2012.
The facility represented German engineering excellence, attracting NATO partners who sought its specialized capabilities for submarine pressure testing.
The dock operated Monday through Thursday from 08:30 to 18:00 and Friday from 08:30 to 13:00, accommodating various maritime operations.
Throughout its service, Dock C conducted over 1000 dockings, including the notable destruction test of submarine U3 in 1970.
