Seydlitz participated in many of the large fleet actions during World War I, including the battles of Dogger Bank and Jutland in the North Sea.
The ship was also significantly larger than her predecessors-at 24,988 metric tons (24,593 long tons 27,545 short tons), she was approximately 3,000 metric tons heavier than the Moltke-class ships. Seydlitz featured several incremental improvements over the preceding designs, including a redesigned propulsion system and an improved armor layout. Seydlitz represented the culmination of the first generation of German battlecruisers, which had started with the Von der Tann in 1906 and continued with the pair of Moltke-class battlecruisers ordered in 19. She was named after Friedrich Wilhelm von Seydlitz, a Prussian general during the reign of King Frederick the Great and the Seven Years' War. She was ordered in 1910 and commissioned in May 1913, the fourth battlecruiser built for the High Seas Fleet. SMS Seydlitz was a battlecruiser of the German Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy), built in Hamburg.
