Project history: Originally the German Navy wanted twelve Type 101 destroyers and, in fact, ordered them in August 1957, but it transpired that they could not be built on the planned displacement of 2500t. So the Western European Union by a post factum decision raised the displacement to 6000t.

Modernizations: 1976, Hamburg, Hessen; 1977, Bayern; 1979, Schleswig-Holstein under 101A type: - 1 x 1 - 100/55 (No3), LW-02, DA-02, 1x M45 radars; + 2 x 2 Exocet MM38 SSM (4 MM38), LW-04, DA-08, SGR-103 radars, 2x SCLAR decoy RL; the boilers were modified to bum light oil. and the lattice mainmast was removed.

1978, all: enclosed bridge was fitted.

Naval service: No significant events.
