"U17 shapes the cityscape of Heidelberg"

The trip of the U17 started in Mannheim and led it through the picturesque landscape of the Rhein-Neckar region. The passage under the historic Neckarbrücke in Ladenburg was particularly impressive, in which precision and skill were required to safely control the pontoon through the river.

After the lock near Schwabenheim, the submarine moved further to Heidelberg, where it anchored in front of the impressive backdrop of the castle ruins and the old bridge. The residents of the city and visitors gathered on the shore and on the bridges to watch the extraordinary spectacle when the 350 -ton colossus was erected.

Next Monday, July 8th, the submarine continues its trip to Eberbach. The day begins with preparations at 7 a.m. before U17 passes the old bridge in Heidelberg again and controls towards Eberbach. A live stream and tracking make it possible to pursue the continuing of the submarine and even get into conversation with former submarine drivers.
