Nassau, Helgoland, Kaiser, König and Bayern class battleships

The Nassau class battleships were the first dreadnoughts built in German.

The Helgoland class battleships were the second class of dreadnoughts built in Germany. They were bigger and better armed than the previous class.

The Kaiser class of dreadnought battleships represented a major advance in German battleship design with an improved layout of the main guns.

The König class battleships were improved versions of the previous Kaiser class, with all of their main guns carried in turrets on the centre line.

The two Bayern class battleships were the only dreadnoughts to be launched and completed in Germany during the First World War
