Deutsches U-Boot Museum-Archiv

In early 2007 the Archiv has changed its name from "U-Boot Archiv" to Deutsches U-Boot Museum-Archiv. This is still the same people, same mission.

On the following pages we would like to introduce the Deutsches U-Boot Museum-Archiv in Cuxhaven- Altenbruch, Germany. We believe this is the most comprehensive and also most competent source for the German U-boat history anywhere in the world.

On the following pages you find informations about:

Two locations
The Deutsches U-Boot Museum-Archiv is now in two locations, the museum house (red) and the archiv house (yellow).

Lange Strasse 1. This is where Horst Bredow keeps his office.

uboat.net is in no small part based on the research results of the U-Boot-Archiv especially on the great 5 volumes edition of the archive: Der U-Boot-Krieg 1939-1945.

But we expressly state that the uboat.net is not the homepage of the archive. Also the U-Boot-Archiv is not responsible for any of our content nor our accuracy.

We wish the archive and above all the founder and director Horst Bredow all the best for his fantastic work to preserve and honor the service of German U-boat-men.
