      The sailing training ship Niobe was a training ship of the Imperial Navy. It sank 1932 in the Baltic Sea before the island Fehmarn. 69 men of the crew drowned.
      On July 26, 1932, the Niobe capsized in the Fehmarnbelt at 54 ° 35 '42 "N, 11 ° 11' 12" E in an unpredictable thunderstorm (see White Bo) and sank in a few minutes. 69 people were killed, 40 were saved by a lightship and the steamship Therese soot. Among the rescued was also the commander Lieutenant Heinrich Ruhfus. He was later acquitted by a court martial on charges of negligence on November 10, 1932. One reason for the rapid decline was the fact that all the hatches and portholes were open at this time due to the good weather.
