The final assembly of the Series-Connected Hybrid magnet system for the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin for Materials and Energy (HZB) has occurred with the integration of the superconducting cold mass, cryostat, resistive Florida-Bitter coils, and the cryogenic, chilled water, power, and control subsystems. The hybrid magnet consists of a 13-T superconducting $\hbox{Nb}_{3}\hbox{Sn/CICC}$ coil and a set of 12-T resistive, water cooled coils at 4.4 MW. Much of the cryostat and cold mass functional requirements were dictated by the electromagnetic interactions between the superconducting and resistive coils. This includes the radial decentering and axial aligning forces from normal operations and a 1.1 MN fault load. The system assembly was an international achievement with the cold mass being completed at the NHMFL in the USA, cryostat to cold mass interfaces made at Criotec Impianti in Italy, and final assembly at the HZB in Germany.
