Chris,
Well yes, there's the yearly Rangliste der Kaiserlich Deutschen Marine, which is the German equivalent of the Navy List. There was also a supplement published in the fall with updates.
You can find the 1907 through 1914 Rangliste here: [digital.ub.uni-duesseldorf.de]
I also have the 1900 - 1906, 1916, 1918, and 1922 editions and the Ehrenrangliste as pdfs. We've used the various editions of the Rangliste plus the Ehrenrangliste for the promotion dates plus most of the information on decorations for WWI U-boat commanders.
The key for using the Ehrenrangliste is the index of names in the back.
Also, a key thing to remember is that promotions are almost completely based upon seniority -- you can predict who the next guy is to be promoted with close to 100% certainty. Note the promotion dates and priority numbers in the file I send; this is so one can find someone in the Rangliste more quickly.
If you have any specific questions about the Rangliste or the Ehrenrangliste, please let me know. I read German, including the old script.
Best wishes,
Michael
