Kriegsmarine R Fuess Berlin-Steglitz Barometer
A Kriegsmarine or U-Boot Barometer, one of many from our collection. This one has a wooden holder made for it. ‘R Fuess Berlin- Steglitz’ is the producer, this model is one of the many models made by this producer for the Kriegsmarine. The front plate is marked with an eagle and M nr and DRP (Deutsches Reichspatent). The Barometer is still functional as was used for measuring the Atmospheric pressure. This was important for weather prediction. Changes in the atmosphere, including changes in air pressure, affect the weather.
U-Boot Seehund XXVII B Batteries
2 Batteries from a Type XXVII B U-Boot, also known as a Seehund. They’re filled with lead (no liquids inside), and have a weight of ~10kg each. On top you can see air vent caps which have a simple filter. These batteries came from the surfaced Seehund that is displayed in the Wreckmuseum in Cuxhaven. These exact type of batteries were also used on many other places, like a Biber U-Boot, or even a G7e Torpedo. The red Battery is marked with a 3 letter code ‘ehe’ which indicated where it was made. Further research brought me to this ”Heinrich Römmler AG, Preßstoffwerke, Spremberg”
