Laboe Naval Memorial
Marine-Ehrenmal Laboe
The Laboe Naval Memorial, located in Kiel, Germany, is a significant monument dedicated to the memory of sailors who lost their lives during World War I and World War II. Originally built between 1927 and 1936 to honor the German naval forces of World War I, the memorial was later expanded to include those who perished in World War II. The structure features a 72-meter-high tower, which visitors can ascend to enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding area, including the Kiel Fjord. At the base of the tower, there is a hall of remembrance and an exhibition area displaying naval artifacts and historical information. The memorial also includes the U-995, a preserved World War II submarine, which serves as a museum ship open to the public.
