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 incomplete test submarine sank during a trial run due to insufficient funds. Following the experimental diving boat built in 1897 with the hull number 333 by Karl Leps, the 'Forelle' was constructed in 1902. Based on the designs of engineer Raymondo Lorenzo d´Equevilley-Montjustin, which were 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.
