bernd1151 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) Kiel lies approximately 90 km (56 mi) north of Hamburg. Due to its location on the southwestern shore of the Baltic Sea, Kiel has become one of Germany's major maritime centers, known for a variety of international sailing events. It has also been one of the traditional homes of the German Navy's Baltic fleet. The more I fly the Fokker, the more I like the old lady. It’s ideal for exploring a region low and slow. Getting close to the Laboe Naval Memorial, which was built in the late 1920s, early 1930s, originally as a memorial for the dead of WWI of the German navy. 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. In front of it sits a WWII-era German submarine. U-995 is the world's only remaining Type VII U-boat. Edited May 13, 2022 by bernd1151 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The olympics for sure, but then also the annual Kiel week, if we want to go into more details. If I'm not mistaken this sailing event is the largest one in Europe 3 hours ago, John Mac said: Great shots and information Bernd. Loved it! John.
