The German plan provided for the presence of thirteen light cruisers, six of which had already been built by the beginning of 1939. There were plans to add six more cruisers with an enhanced design. Unlike the preceding classes, they were supposed to have an improved range and higher speed. In 1938 and 1939, six ships were ordered, two of which were laid down in Kiel and Wilhelmshaven in 1938. In September 1939, the construction of the ships was canceled due to the outbreak of World War II, and all laid-down cruisers were demolished on the stocks.
