About this site
The Bruno Heinemann is a German destroyer wreck lying in the North Sea, near Nieuwpoort. The vessel struck two mines in 1942 and sank, coming to rest on a sandy bottom where it has remained as a recognisable wreck ever since.
The wreck is particularly noted for its intact armament: the cannons remain standing upright, depth charges sit alongside them, and torpedoes are still loaded in their launch tubes, making it one of the more striking military wrecks in the area. The structure also offers swim-through opportunities within its interior.
Marine life is consistently present in and around the wreck, and the combination of navigable spaces and well-preserved weaponry draws divers back repeatedly. Access is by boat, with the return port being Nieuwpoort.
