The evolution of German submarines traces back to 1849 when Bavarian soldier Wilhelm Bauer conceived the idea of a submarine during the Schleswig-Holstein War. In Kiel, he realized a model that was built in 1850 by August Howaldt at Schweffel and Howaldt under the name 'Brandtaucher'. Unfortunately, the test U-boat sank due to incomplete construction caused by lack of funds. Following the 1897 experimental diving boat with serial number 333, designed by Karl Leps, the 'Forelle' was built in 1902. Based on the plans of engineer Raymondo Lorenzo d´Equevilley-Montjustin, influenced by the works of Claude Gobet, Gustave Zédé, Isaac Peral, and the Englishman Waddington, the 'Forelle' was the first functional German submarine, equipped with a conning tower, periscope, air purification system, and bilge pump. Powered by an electric motor using a 715 ampere-hour capacity battery, the 'Forelle' had a range of approximately 25 nautical miles at a speed of four knots.
