The first Doppler-shift-free crystal- spectrometer measurements from stationary highly stripped uranium ions are presented. Eleven 2s{sub 1/2}-2p{sub 3/2} transitions in eight ionization stages between Li-like U{sup 89+} and Ne-like U{sup 82+} are identified and measured with an accuracy as high as 45 ppm, providing benchmarks for testing relativistic correlation and quantum electrodynamical effects in highly charged multi-electron ions. A value of 47.38 {plus_minus} 0.35 eV is found for the 2s{sub 1/2} Lamb shift in Li-like U{sup 89+}, in excellent agreement with the theoretical value of 47.58 eV.
