Historical Information

The battleship SMS Großer Kurfürst belonged to the König class and was one of the most modern battleships of the German Imperial Navy during World War I (1914–1918). It entered service in 1914 and became famous for its participation in the largest naval battle of the Great War – the Battle of Jutland (1916), where it actively fought against the Royal Navy. After the war, the vessel was interned at Scapa Flow, where in 1919 her own crew scuttled her to prevent her capture by the Allies.
