Kiel Maritime Museum Fish Market & Museum Bridge

The Kiel Maritime Museum is amazing, especially considering it’s free to enter. There are many interesting exhibits inside, and while it’s not as big or modern as the Amsterdam Maritime Museum or Museum in Genoa but it's definitely worth a visit

It's alright. A fair share of model boats and ships, a few of them interactive (press a button, and a section lights up), and there are also some audio and video clips. A decent amount of things to learn here about the local history; Kiel as a port in general.

Small, free, museum in the old fish market hall sharing a bit of Kiel's maritime history. Worth a stop if you are in town.

The Kiel Maritime Museum is the perfect place for lovers of ships and maritime stories. Each hall has its own story, and the descriptions are clear and engaging. I especially enjoyed the section with historical navigation instruments and models of old ships. The entire museum is very clean and well-lit, and the staff is friendly and approachable. It’s a bit outside the city center, but that makes it peaceful and pleasant to visit.

If I have to describe this place in three words, they would be: small, cozy, comprehensive. Since the museum is dedicated to the city of Kiel, it does not try to show everything related to seafaring, which is very good. Specific exhibits related to Kiel and its maritime history are comfortably arranged, and for those who like to delve deeper, accurately collected and conveniently accessible information is presented as well. You can also see unique exhibits, such as the remains of a two-seater submarine. The museum is worth a visit even if you don't have much time, as it is located in the city center and is therefore easily accessible on foot. At the same time, due to its size, it is easily bypassed in more than an hour. Another advantage - the entrance is free.

Spent a couple of hours here. It's near the port and the view from outside the museum overlooking the sea is quite nice. The museum exhibits speak to Kiel's rich maritime history and their tag of being Sailing City. Lots of great images and factoids, in German and English. Some of the exhibits provided exceptional insights into Kiel's role in maritime growth and development of technologies that furthered ocean exploration. There's also snippets of Kiel's role in the Olympic Games over the years, especially for sailing events. A short, but must visit attraction in Kiel! It's not very big but there is a lot to see and admire in this very well kept museum space. Entry is 4€ and there's lockers available to keep your backpacks. No restrictions on taking photos at the museum itself. You can buy some really cool postcards before you leave the museum and these have exceptional print quality! Would surely recommend picking up a few, at just about €1 per card. There's a cute cafe at the exit, where you can catch a break too.

A free museum next to the cruise terminal. Has a bar attached if you need something to drink. The museum has a variety of exhibits. The staff is very friendly and helpful. You’ll need a 2 euro coin deposit to use the lockers if you’ve got a backpack or bags. It wasn’t crowded during the weekday afternoon that we went.

Cute small museum FREE OF CHARGE with a focus on the local history of maritime and trade history with nice and partly really impressive exhibits, s.e. a super mall WWII 2 man submarine wrack. It also includes information about sailing, shipyards etc. If around definitely worth a visit! Super nice staff btw!
