Development of the closed cycle Seehund was carried out by Ingenioeurburo Gluckauf in Blankenburg and was given the designation Type 227. Contracts for prototypes were awarded to Germaniawerft in Kiel and to Schichau at Elbing and by May 1945 a contract for three operational model (U-5188 to U-5190) had been awarded to Germeniawerft. These models would have used the standard Seehund power plant converted to closed cycle operation on the grounds the Daimler-Benz engines were not available in any quantity. Tests showed that the Bussing engine could be successfully converted by the world ended before the craft could go into production.
