HMS Royal Rupert and Prince Rupert School
Originally a Kriegsmarine (German equivalent of the Royal Navy) submarine base for two training flotillas, up until the end of the Second World War. It then went on to become HMS Royal Rupert until 1 July 1947 when Prince Rupert School became the new owners.
This ownership would last a quarter of a century before a purpose built school, retaining the Prince Rupert name, was opened at Rinteln in 1972. This school still provides education to the children of BFG to this date.
