Kiel is the capital and most populous city of the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, situated on the southwestern shore of the Baltic Sea. The city is known for its maritime heritage, serving as one of Germany's major naval bases and an important commercial port.

Founded in the 13th century, Kiel developed from a small fishing village into a significant maritime center. The city's cultural landscape is shaped by its nautical history, academic presence through the University of Kiel (founded in 1665), and its role as a center of shipbuilding. Despite significant damage during World War II, Kiel has preserved and developed its cultural institutions, including museums that reflect its maritime tradition and regional history.

The city is also famous for hosting the annual Kiel Week (Kieler Woche), the largest sailing event in the world and a major cultural festival that celebrates the city's maritime heritage and international character.
