Extensive rust penetration was discovered in the internal steel supporting structure of the eagle in 2000, rendering renovation work necessary. Since 12 July 2001, the original eagle with its galvanised, copper-coated iron skin has been replaced by a recast bronze version similar to it (designed by the firm Noack from Berlin). The eagle was removed again in March 2012 for necessary reinforcement work after the detection of signs of fatigue in the supporting structure. The planned date of its return, initially scheduled to be six weeks later, was subjected to repeated delays thereafter; eventually, on 25 April 2013, the eagle was able to reassume its position.

The monument was built on the former Möltenorter
Schanze (Möltenort Fieldwork) in Heikendorf and dedicated on 8 June 1930. After suffering structural damage, it was rebuilt in 1938. It consists of a 15.3-metre-high pillar, at the top of which is a 4.8-metre-high eagle (designed by Fritz Schmoll).

The U-Boat war badge is attached to the pillar; until 1945 its position had been occupied by a swastika. This was made unrecognizable by the filling-in of the spaces between its arms, however it can still be made out behind the badge.
