Battle of Heligoland ( 1849 ) The first Battle of Heligoland took place on 4 June 1849 during the First Schleswig War and pitted the fledgling all - German navy known as the Reichsflotte ( Imperial Fleet ) , which had been founded less than a year prior , against the Royal Danish Navy , which had blocked German naval trade in North Sea and Baltic Sea since early 1848 . The outcome was inconclusive , with no casualties , and the blockade went on . It remained the only battle of the German fleet . The events . The Germans had to build a fleet from scratch , buying ships abroad and converting them , and hiring foreign officers ( British , Belgian ) to lead native veteran merchant mariners . After about a year of preparation , on 4 June , German Admiral Karl Rudolf Brommy left Bremerhaven with the steam frigate SMS " Barbarossa " ( formerly RMS " Britannia " ) and the smaller steam corvettes " Lübeck ( 1844 ) " and " Hamburg ( 1841 ) " in order to disperse the Danish ships which were guarding the mouth of Weser River . The Danish forces present that day were inferior and retreated , but Brommy managed to cut off the sailing corvette " Valkyrien " which under captain Andreas Polder sought refuge near the island of Heligoland which at the time belonged to United Kingdom . The British , while being neutral , had anyway made clear beforehand that a German Navy was not welcome and might be treated as pirates . Ships of both sides fired some shots , with no effect . When the German approached the island ' s three - mile zone , the British forces fired warning shots towards them , while allowing the Danish corvette to stay close . Brommy , not willing to draw the Royal Navy into the war , stayed at a distance while the Danish captain Polder was waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the Danish main fleet . When the modern steamer " Gejser " , under kaptajnløjtnant ( captain lieutenant ) Jørgen P . F . Wulff , came into sight , Brommy retreated , fearing further Danish reinforcements . The Danes followed the Germans to the mouth of the Elbe near Cuxhaven before resuming the blockade . It was the first and the last excursion of the small fleet under the black - red - gold Flag of Germany . External links .
