Möltenort U-Boat Memorial, War memorial in Heikendorf, Germany

The memorial includes a 15-meter high pillar topped with a 4.8-meter bronze eagle, positioned along the shore of Kiel Fjord.

Inaugurated in 1930, this monument honors over 35,000 German submarine personnel who lost their lives during World War I and World War II.

The circular gallery contains 115 bronze plaques listing names of fallen submarine crews from the Imperial Navy, Kriegsmarine, and German Navy.

The memorial opens daily from 9:00 to 18:00 between April and September, and from 9:00 to 16:00 between October and March.

The original eagle statue underwent complete replacement in 2001 with a bronze replica after extensive corrosion damage to its internal structure.
