was one of the four Sachsen-class armored frigates of the Imperial German Navy. Her sister ships were Sachsen, Bayern and Baden. Württemberg was built at the AG Vulcan shipyard in Stettin from 1876 to 1881. The ship was commissioned to the Imperial Navy in August 1881. It was armed with a main battery of six 26 cm (10.2 in) guns in two open barbettes.
After its commissioning, Württemberg served with the fleet in numerous training exercises and cruises. He took part in several cruises escorting Kaiser Wilhelm II on state visits to Great Britain and various Baltic Sea cities in the late 1880s and early 1890s. During 1898-1899, the ship was modernized at the shipyard imperial in Kiel; it served for another seven years with the fleet before being retired from active service in 1906. It was subsequently used in a variety of secondary roles, until it was sold in 1920 and scrapped.
