Looks to me more like a liquid tank than a submarine.

Based on the shape visible from above and the direction of the shadows it is possible to see that the rectangular area emits the elevated part of the shadow.



Since the total length is 17 meters it is also possible to calculate the individual length of the different parts of the device. Above is what I belive the shape as seen from the side, more or less correct in scale.

The tower is located at 8.5 meters from the stern, that is, at the exact middle of the device.

Just did a Google Images search for "Kiel submarine" and this fits the description you are giving:

It is the Greek submarine S-120 Papanikolis in October 2009

Thanks for your reply. The S-120 (or Type 214) looks a bit similar, however it is much larger with 65 meters compared to the very small device above with a length of only 17 meters.

Well to be honest, I'm just guessing, and it's the best candidate so far.

Maybe the one on the google maps foto is just a model for studies.

It was there in October 2004, still there in March 2005, again still there in December 2007, not moved, not changed shape, nothing added, nothing removed.

It's not a sub.
