The Generalinspekteur der Marine (Inspector-General of the Navy) was a position in the government of the German Empire.
He served under the emperor’s direct command, controlling inspections throughout the navy to maintain regulations for the highest efficiency.
Only in March 1899, when Wilhelm II took over as the supreme commander of the Navy through the Admiralstab (Admiralty Staff) was the Inspector General reactivated.
Admiral Prince Heinrich of Prussia held the office from 1 October 1909 to 10 August 1918.
There exists a similar office (Inspekteur der Marine) in the navy of the modern Federal Republic of Germany.
