submarine U17 continues historical journey-special event for Heidelberger

An extraordinary event kept the residents of Heidelberg in suspense on Monday: the historic submarine U17 passed the picturesque lock of the city, accompanied by hundreds of onlookers. The 350-ton colossus was spectacularly overturned to the side to cope with the narrow round. A sight that is not offered every day.

The challenges of the historical journey

The submarine U17 is on a trip to the Sinsheim Museum Technology, which has numerous obstacles. The passage under a historic bridge near Ladenburg required special attention, in which the submarine had only a few centimeters of scope. However, by clever maneuvering the colossus, the bottleneck was able to master the bottleneck without prejudice.

a unique spectacle for the Heidelberger

The residents of Heidelberg did not miss the rare event and gathered on the banks of the Neckar to marvel at the U17 submarine. After a short stop in the city, the submarine continued its journey, through the Neckar Valley to Haßmersheim and finally to the destination in the technology Museum Sinsheim. A logistical effort that requires precise maneuvering.

The next stage: The old bridge in Heidelberg

Further on his route, the passage under the old bridge in Heidelberg was due for the 50-meter submarine. A highlight of the trip that required precise timing and precise navigation. The team led by captain Ben Kik can be proven again when the colossus slid under the historic building - an impressive spectacle for everyone involved.
