draft
The Leipzig class is a revised draft of the Königsberg class .
The concept of the Königsberg class was largely retained. The Leipzig class, however, only had one chimney, and the rear 15 cm treble towers were not laterally offset, but arranged in the middle.
The appearance of the Nürnberg differed considerably from the type ship Leipzig . Differentiators included the shape of the bridge construction and the arrangement of the heavy Fla Weapons. Most noticeable, however, was the platform wreath on the chimney, which only Nuremberg had.
