Fehmarn - Straßenbagger is an inverted construction excavator wreck on a muddy Fehmarn seabed, with a long boom, a shell-covered frame, and an easy-to-read silhouette in calm conditions. It is a beginner-friendly wreck dive when the local weather and wind let the boat run, and the appeal is the odd industrial shape plus the fish hiding in the gaps rather than a coral landscape.
