 Both ships survived the war , though Leipzig was in very poor condition following an accidental collision with the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen late in the war . Leipzig was therefore used as a barracks ship before being scuttled in 1946 . Nürnberg , however , emerged from the war largely unscathed , and as a result , was seized by the Soviet Navy as war reparations , and commissioned into the Soviet fleet as Admiral Makarov ; she continued in Soviet service until the late 1950s , and was broken up for scrap by 1960 .
