Submarine Department of the IMM Hamburg
« on: 19 Feb , 2017, 04:38 »
Hi Gents,

I have visited the "International Maritime Museum Hamburg" a few weeks ago (http://www.imm-hamburg.de).

A visit which I wanted to do for years. The museum has more than 4 floors in a very large building (a former storehouse). The exhibition shows IMO every aspect of seafaring. It takes me more than six hours for an inspection but I suppose I will need a second visitation because the rooms are crammed (meant as a compliment) with very interesting exhibits from around the world. So if you stay in Hamburg I highly recommend this museum for a visit.

I took a lot of pictures specially in the Navy Department and – as you will have gathered – with focus on submarines and uboats. So lets start with this picture thread sorted a little bit by different time and technical periods.

"Overview.jpg" shows the wall with submarine and uboat models (mostly 1/100 Scale). The pictures named "AA-gun" (2 cm/twin) and "Uboat_net" are self explaining.

Pre wartime (WW1) uboats and submarines


French submarine "Gustav Zede" (commissioning 1893). I like the design it looks very modern to me with a touch of Jules Verne.


"U1"is  Germanys first submarine (commissioning 1906). IMO "U1" looks like a mixture of a torpedo- and uboat. The original "U1" is exhibited in Munich today as a cutaway (scale 1:1 of course). YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ1aZT4HsUg

WW2
U-boat diorama 1/35 scale. I'am not sure but I assume this diorama was listed on ebay a few years ago and it was sold at the end of the auction for more than 10,000.00 EUR (ten thousand).

WW2 – Typ XXI
Scale 1/100, the deck of this model is very well done. IMO it's high time that Revell do this one in 1/72 scale.

Thanks for the great images.
Seems like a very interesting museum. I'll keep that in mind for when I find myself near Hamburg.

Hi XL, hi Sg, hi Cap,

thank you all for your kind check back signal. This was a stimulus to look for more pictures, so here are a few latecomers.

The first batch shows a original german WW1 torpedo with inner workings. The torpedo was found near Helgoland (Northern Sea). During WW1 Helgoland was a UBoat base.

These two pictures are showing a scrachtbuilt of the „Nautilus“ as it appeared in the novel of Jules Verne. The modeler (Felix Lühning from Berlin) used the description of Verne to build the famous (fictional) submarine.

The first picture shows a diorama of the sunk japanese Battleship „Yamato“.

The second picture shows the „Novgorod“ a russian coastal ironclad. Scale is 1/100. The design and development  of the boat was restricted after Russia lost the crimea war, hence the fleet of the czar was not allowed to had Battleships in the Black Sea.

The last picture illustrates a german torpedo boat from WW1 (Scale: 1/100).
