Helgoland Habitat, Underwater research station in Altefähr, Germany.
The Helgoland Habitat consists of interconnected chambers with a total length of 14 meters, containing living quarters and scientific laboratory spaces at 115 feet depth.
Dräger constructed this underwater laboratory in Lübeck during 1968 as the first cold-water research facility, enabling extended marine observation periods.
German engineering expertise manifested in this facility through advanced pressure management systems and specialized equipment for marine research operations.
Four researchers could stay inside the habitat for multiple weeks, conducting experiments and observations while maintaining contact with surface support teams.
The facility incorporated a wet laboratory section measuring 4 meters in length, allowing direct water specimen analysis without leaving the pressurized environment.
