General

As a replacement for the test boats Adolf Bestelmeyer , Friedrich Voge , Rudolf Diesel and Hans Christian Oersted built in the 1940s , three "test boats, medium" (type of ship according to the ship number list ) were commissioned from Fr. Lürssen Werft as general contractor . Subcontractors were the Kröger shipyard , the Elsflether shipyard and Nobiskrug . A fourth ship of this class was no longer realized.

The hull is made of steel and divided into nine compartments by eight bulkheads . For better maneuvering, transverse thruster control systems with 150 kW each are installed in the fore and aft . The ships are used in a variety of ways and take the necessary equipment on board in containers . The fixed equipment includes a ship's crane , a swiveling A-frame at the stern, a pinasse and accommodations for embarked test personnel.
