The Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft in
Kiel was the first German shipyard to produce submarines on a large scale. The
shipbuilding company, located on the eastern bank of the Hörn River in the Kiel
district of Gaarden-Ost, was one of the most important contractors for the
Imperial German Navy from the end of the 19th century and, from 1935, for the
Kriegsmarine.
After the end of World War II, the shipyard facilities were dismantled by order
of the British occupying forces, and the company was dissolved. A small portion
of the former shipyard site is occupied by ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems.
