阿爾弗雷德·馮·鐵必制
When the German Emperor decided to take over the supreme command of the Navy himself on 14 March 1899, the Imperial Naval High Command was disbanded. This happened mainly at the instigation of Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, to increase the power of his Imperial Naval Office ("Reichsmarineamt"). Some of the powers of the Imperial Naval High Command were transferred to the previously existing Admiralty Staff.
