On 11 August 1918, Posen, Westfalen, SMS Kaiser (1911), and SMS Kaiserin sortied from Wilhelmshaven to support torpedo boats on patrol off Terschelling. On 2 October, Posen moved out into the outer roadsteads of Jade to provide cover for the returning U-boats of the Flanders Flotilla. Posen was to have taken part in the last fleet operation of the war, planned for 30 October. The operation was intended to inflict as much damage as possible on the British navy, in order to retain a better bargaining position for Germany, whatever the cost to the fleet. However, war-weary sailors mutinied, which led to the operation being canceled. In an attempt to suppress the spread of mutinous sentiments, Admiral Hipper ordered the fleet dispersed. Posen and the other ships of the I Battle Squadron were sent out into the roadstead on 3 November, then returned to Wilhelmshaven on 6 November. === Dalsze losy ===11 listopada 1918 weszło w życie zawieszenie broni. Zgodnie z nim jedenaście niemieckich pancerników i pięć niemieckich krążowników liniowych zostało internowanych w brytyjskiej bazie Scapa Flow na okres negocjacji traktatu pokojowego .

"Posen" nie znajdował się wśród tych jednostek i został wycofany ze służby 16 grudnia. Okręt w Scapa Flow dokonały samozatopienia 21 czerwca 1919. W rezultacie tego "Posen" i inne pancerniki, których nie planowano internować, zostały zatrzymane jako zamienniki za te które zostały utracone. 5 listopada "Posen" został skreślony z listy jednostek niemieckiej floty z przeznaczeniem przekazania Wielkiej Brytanii. Okręt został przekazany 13 maja 1920. Brytyjczycy sprzedali go następnie stoczni złomowej z Holandii . Okręt został zezłomowany w Dordrecht w 1922

. On 11 November 1918, the Armistice took effect; according to its terms, eleven battleships and five battlecruisers were to be interned in Scapa Flow for the duration of negotiations for the peace treaty. Posen was not among the ships interned, and she was instead decommissioned on 16 December. The ships in Scapa Flow were eventually scuttled on 21 June 1919, and as a result, Posen and the other battleships not interned were seized as replacements for the ships that had been lost. On 5 November, Posen was stricken from the German navy list to be handed over to Great Britain. The ship was transferred on 13 May 1920; the British subsequently sold her to ship-breakers in the Netherlands. Posen was eventually broken up in Dordrecht in 1922. &lt;/nowiki&gt;
