The Leipzig class was a class of light cruisers of the German Kriegsmarine, consisting of two ships named after German cities, Leipzig and Nürnberg. The Leipzig class, an improved K class cruiser, was the last class of light cruisers built by Germany. Contrary to the practice used in the K class, with the Leipzig class designers opted to mount the gun turrets on the center-line again.
The second ship of the class, Nürnberg ,was slightly modified and different from the original design.
