German submarine U-1223 was a Type IXC/40 U-boat built for Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II.

German submarine U-1223 was a Type IXC/40 U-boat built for Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II. U-1223 was ordered on 25 August 1941 from Deutsche Werft in Hamburg-Finkenwerder under the yard number 386. Her keel was laid down on 25 November 1942 and was launched the following year on 23 June 1943. About three months later she was commissioned into service under the command of Kapitänleutnant Harald Bosüner on 6 October 1943 in the 4th U-boat Flotilla. While working up for deployment, U-1223 Bosüner was relieved and handed over command to Oberleutnant zur See Albert Kneip in March 1944. After completing training, the U-boat transferred to the 2nd U-boat Flotilla and left Kiel for the West Atlantic on 28 August 1944 for her patrol. Stopping briefly in Bergen, Norway, for replenishment, she operated off the Canadian coast. U-1223 arrived back in Kristiansand on Christmas Eve, 24 December 1944, and continued her journey to Flensburg, where she arrived three days later. Having been transferred to the 33rd U-boat Flotilla, she left Flensburg again for Königsberg on 5 January 1945, arriving there on the tenth. The U-boat experienced technical problems in the end of January 1945 and had to be towed into Stettin. From there she travelled under tow of U-1108 to Wesermünde, where she was decommissioned on 15 April 1945. Most of her crew was ordered to form a tank destroyer unit in Neustadt in Holstein under the command of the first watch officer.

The 2nd U-boat Flotilla (German 2. Unterseebootsflottille), also known as the Saltzwedel Flotilla, was the second operational U-boat unit in Germany's Kriegsmarine. Founded on 1 September 1936 under the command of Fregattenkapitän Werner Scheer, it was named in honour of Oberleutnant zur See Reinhold Saltzwedel. Saltzwedel, a U-boat commander during World War I, died on 2 December 1917, when his submarine UB-81 was sunk by a mine in the English Channel. The flotilla was based in Kiel for the first few weeks after its formation, but was later moved to Wilhelmshaven, where it remained until May 1940. In June 1940, the flotilla was moved to Lorient in France until it was disbanded in August 1944.
