Krížnik v roku 1940 ukoristilo Nemecko v roku 1940, dlho pre neho nemala Kriegsmarine využitie, až neskôr padlo rozhodnutie loď prestavať na plávajúcu ťažkú protilietadlovú batériu Niobe (Schwimmende Flakbatterie Niobe, do služby zaradenú v marci 1944).


Začiatkom júla 1944 (července 1944) loď doplávala do Fínskeho zálivu. Najprv sa objavila v Helsinkách, neskôr zamierila do zálivu západne od fínskeho mesta Kotka. Tam ju dňa 16.07.1944 v rámci operácie "Uragán" potopilo sovietske letectvo, ktoré si loď zamenilo s fínskym plavidlom Väinämöinen.
