Kaiser Wilhelm II served as the flagship of the High Seas Fleet until 1906, when she was replaced by the new battleship SMS Deutschland. After the new dreadnought battleships began entering service in 1910, Kaiser Wilhelm II was decommissioned and put into reserve. With the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, she and her sisters were brought back into active duty as coastal defense ships in the V Battle Squadron. Due to her age, however, she was withdrawn from this role in early 1915, after which she served as a command ship for the commander of the High Seas Fleet. Following the end of the war in November 1918, Kaiser Wilhelm II was stricken from the navy list and sold for scrap in the early 1920s. Her bow ornament is preserved at the Military History Museum of the Bundeswehr in Dresden.
