The Marineschule Mürwik is Germany's main naval officer training academy, occupying a large red-brick complex on the eastern shore of the Firth north of Flensburg. The building was constructed between 1907 and 1910 in the North German Renaissance style, a deliberate architectural statement about German naval ambition. It is not open to the public as an active military installation.
The academy is visible from the water and from the approach road, and walking or cycling along the waterfront past the school is possible. The building's connection to the final days of World War II — it served as the seat of the Dönitz government in May 1945 — makes it one of the more historically weighted buildings in a city with considerable historical weight.
