Kiel entdecken

The Kiel Maritime Museum occupies the former fish-market hall on the Sartorikai waterfront, built in 1910 by city architect Georg Pauly and converted into a museum in 1978. Its exhibits cover Kiel's fishing and shipbuilding history, alongside historic vessels moored outside on the Kiel Fjord.

The Zoological Museum of Kiel University displays zoological collections in a yellow-brick building designed by Martin Gropius and opened in 1881. Exhibits cover systematics, evolution, and the fauna of the tropics and of Germany, including specimens gathered on 19th-century expeditions such as the Galathea voyage and the German Plankton Expedition.
