Calls
U 22 was launched on March 6, 1913 at the Imperial Shipyard in Gdansk from the stack and was on 25 November 1913 the commander Bruno Hoppe put into service. From August 23, 1916 to May 31, 1917, the boat was commanded by Karl Scherb . On June 1, 1917, Hinrich Hermann Hashagen took over the command, which he held until the end of the war.
U 22 carried out 14 war missions in which 44 merchant ships of the Entente and neutral states with a total tonnage of 46,365 GRT were sunk.
On January 21, 1915, Bruno Hoppe and U 22 sank the German submarine U 7 , which he mistakenly believed to be an enemy boat. It was only when the only survivor was rescued that Hoppe recognized his fateful error.
On April 6, 1917, U 22 ran into a British mine in the North Sea at Horns Rev , a sandbank off Blåvand on the west coast of Jutland . The mine was one of 1,235 mines that had been laid by three British miners on the Blau outlet between the German minefields. Although the stern of the submarine was completely destroyed by the mine explosion, U 22 was brought in by a German torpedo boat . The submarine was repaired and used until the end of the war.
technology
U 22 was one of the first German submarine series to be equipped with diesel engines.
Whereabouts
After the end of the war, U 22 was delivered to Great Britain on December 1, 1918 and broken up in Blyth in the post-war years in 1919 and 1920 .
