From Mannheim to Heidelberg

A real highlight took place in Heidelberg on 6 July: Our submarine U17 moored in front of the city's historic landmarks on the banks of the Neckar, attracting numerous curious visitors. Below Heidelberg Castle and in front of the Old Bridge, all those present were presented with a visually stunning scenario: the castle ruins on the right, the Old Bridge on the left and our submarine right in the middle - a real spectacle!

The transport also attracted the attention of families, history buffs and technology enthusiasts on its way from Mannheim to the Rhine-Neckar metropolis. It was a matter of centimetres as the convoy negotiated the Neckar bridge in Ladenburg and the narrow Schwabenheim lock.
