The official manner of formal addressing of military people with the rank Admiral (OF-9) is "Herr/Frau Admiral".
However, as to German naval traditions the addressing in seamen's language of military people with any flag officer rank (OF-6 to OF-9) is "Herr/Frau Admiral". In the Imperial German Navy, an admiral would be addressed as "Eure Exzellenz" (Your Excellency)[1]
