The battleships (dreadnoughts) of the Konig class were built according to the German shipbuilding program of 1911-1913.

From August to November 1914, they joined the High Seas Fleet (Hochseeflotte) in the 3rd Battleship Squadron.

The dreadnoughts were distinguished by their reliable armour, which proved effective in naval engagements during World War I, including the famous Battle of Jutland (late May 1916).

As their main armament, they carried ten 305-mm guns, each capable of firing 405kg shells at a range of up to 18 kilometers.

Their propulsion system allowed them to reach speeds of 21 knots.

The armoured belt was 350 millimeters thick, one of the best protection levels among ships of the same class.

These dreadnoughts were actively used by the German High Seas Fleet and participated in most major operations throughout World War I.

Details

The Kaiser's Steel Fist refers to the formidable König-class dreadnought battleships of the Imperial German Navy during World War I.

These vessels were among the most advanced and heavily armed warships of their time, symbolizing Germany's naval power.

The class consisted of four ships: SMS König, SMS Grosser Kurfürst, SMS Markgraf, and SMS Kronprinz. Equipped with ten 30.5 cm (12-inch) guns in five twin turrets and robust armor, these dreadnoughts were designed for line-of-battle engagements.

They played a pivotal role in major naval battles, including the Battle of Jutland, demonstrating their strength and resilience in the face of intense combat.

The König-class ships epitomized Germany's strategic emphasis on quality over quantity in its High Seas Fleet.
