ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) in Kiel is one of the world's leading providers of naval shipbuilding and a technological flagship of the German defense industry. The site has a long tradition dating back to the mid-19th century, with roots in shipyards such as Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft (HDW). TKMS specializes particularly in the development and construction of non-nuclear submarines, which set global standards for silence and mission endurance through their innovative fuel cell technology. In addition to submarines, the shipyard manufactures state-of-the-art surface vessels, such as frigates and corvettes, for international naval customers. The shipyard facilities in Kiel are equipped to build the most complex naval systems and employ thousands of highly skilled engineers and technicians. As an integral part of Kiel's maritime identity, TKMS not only shapes the cityscape with its giant gantry cranes but is also a crucial factor in Germany's security policy significance in a global context. Ongoing research into autonomous underwater vehicles and digital defense systems ensures the future viability of the site.
