The Helgoland class was a class of German dreadnought battleships. Laid down in 1909-10, the Helgoland class was the second type of German dreadnoughts as a response to the introduction of the all-big-gun British HMS Dreadnought. The ships served in World War I and participated in the Battle of Jutland. All four survived the war, and were taken as war prizes by the victorious Allied powers.
Helgoland class battleships: Helgoland; Ostfriesland; Thuringen; Oldenburg.
