So far I have made two (one more in the works) German battleship designs. Two are for fast battleships and one is for a battleship with triple turrets in a superfiring arrangemnt.
First up is a rather large fast battleship design from Blohm und Voss armed with 10x35cm guns and looks a lot like the battlecruisers in design. Secondary and tertiary armament consists of 15cm in casemates and 8,8cm guns in shielded mounts
The second design has 6x11" guns mounted amidships with four twin turrets mounting 21cm guns. The tertiary armament consists of 10,5cm guns in casemates in the hull.

Re: Imperial German never-weres
Worth noting of these ships lineages, they are from Kaiser Wilhelm IIs private prize-contenst (imagine a real life "shipbucket challenge" with real money ) that had intention to produce some sort of hybrid between slow battleship and fast battlecruiser ("great cruiser") during the emerging of the big gun era, and which was sort of favorite subject of Wilhelm. There are other contestant desings also survived from this competition.
