SMS Grosser Kurfürst was a German battleship (so-called dreadnought) from the First World War. The keel for this unit was laid in 1911, the launch took place in May 1913, and entry into service in Kaiserliche Marine - in 1914. The length of the ship was 175.4 meters and a width of 29.5 meters. Full displacement reached approx. 28,600 tons, and maximum speed - approx. 21-22 knots. The deck armament, at the time of launch, consisted of 10 305 mm guns, 14 150 mm guns, 10 88 mm guns and 5 torpedo tubes.

SMS Grosser Kurfürst was one of four battleships belonging to the König-class. The battleships of this type were designed and built to be very similar to the previous class of German battleships, the Kaiser. Both classes of ships had almost identical combat capabilities and weapons. The main difference was a slightly different arrangement of the main artillery on the König-class battleships. Originally, it was also planned to use a mixed drive consisting of steam turbines and a diesel engine, but eventually three steam turbines were used as a drive. One of the battleships of this type was SMS Grosser Kurfürst, which was built at the Germaniawerft shipyard in Kiel. The battleship took part in the Yarmouth raid in November 1914. In the same year, she also had a minor collision with her sister battleship SMS König. At the beginning of 1915, the ship was in the Baltic Sea and was unable to take part in the Battle of Dogger Bank (and. Dogger Bank). The following year he took an active part in the Battle of Jutland (May 31-June 1, 1916), but was not seriously damaged in its course. At the end of 1917, the unit also took part in the Baltic Operation Albion. After the end of the war, SMS Grosser Kurfürst was interned at the British base at Scapa Flow, where he was sunk by his own crew on June 21, 1919. In 1938, the shipwreck was lifted from the seabed by the British and sold for scrap.
