Apparently the normal waterline for the Type XXI is where the two gray paint colors meet - so, as a museum ship, the Bauer is riding quite high in the water, presumably to make it accessible to visitors via the entrances cut into its side.

Stern compartment, housing the rudder actuator and auxiliary/manual control, a diver airlock, and the "Pillenwerfer" or small airlock port for deploying sonar countermeasures. Oh, and a potty.

Hatch - this one was over the galley area, and appears to have extra rails and a skidplate on the left, presumably for taking supplies in and out.
