Cöln-class cruiser
The ''Cöln class'' of light cruisers was Germany's last class commissioned before her defeat in World War I. Originally planned to comprise ten ships, only two were completed; and . Five more were launched, but not completed: ''Wiesbaden'', ''Magdeburg'', ''Leipzig'', ''Rostock'' and ''Frauenlob'', while another three were laid down but not launched: ''Ersatz Cöln'', ''Ersatz Emden'' and ''Ersatz Karlsruhe'' (for the last three, the names quoted were only provisional titles to be used during construction, and the three would have received other names at their launch if that had taken place). The design was a slightly modified version of the preceding ''''Königsberg'' class.
''Cöln'' and ''Dresden'' joined the High Seas Fleet in 1918, which limited their service careers. They were assigned to the II Scouting Group, and participated in an abortive fleet operation to Norway to attack British convoys. They were to have led attacks on British merchant traffic designed to lure out the British Grand Fleet and force a climactic fleet battle in the final days of the war, but the Wilhelmshaven Mutiny forced the cancellation of the plan. The two ships were interned and eventually scuttled in Scapa Flow in June 1919. Both ''Dresden'' and ''Cöln'' remain on the bottom of Scapa Flow.
==Design==
By 1916, thirteen German light cruisers had been lost in the course of World War I. To replace them, the ''Kaiserliche Marine'' ordered ten new cruisers built to a modified ''Königsberg'' class design.〔Herwig, p. 205〕 All ten ships were laid down in 1915 and 1916. ''Cöln'' was built by the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Bremen. ''Wiesbaden'' and ''Rostock'' were built at AG Vulcan in Stettin, and ''Leipzig'', ''Ersatz Cöln'', and ''Ersatz Emden'' were ordered from the AG Weser dockyard in Bremen. ''Dresden'' and ''Magdeburg'' were built at the Howaldtswerke shipyard in Kiel, while ''Frauenlob'' and ''Ersatz Karlsruhe'' were built by the Imperial Dockyard in Kiel.〔
''Cöln'' and ''Dresden'', the only two ships to be completed, were launched on 5 October 1916 and 25 April 1917, respectively.〔Gröner, p. 114–115〕 ''Wiesbaden'' was launched in 3 March 1917 and was five months away from completion when she was canceled in December 1918. ''Magdeburg'' followed on 17 November 1917; she was nine months from being finished when she was canceled. ''Leipzig'' was launched on 28 January 1918 and canceled seven months from completion. ''Rostock'' followed on 6 April, and also was seven months away from being finished. ''Frauenlob'', the last ship of the class to be launched, on 16 September, was about thirteen months away from completion when she was canceled. The last three ships were canceled while still on the slipway.〔Gröner, p. 115〕
