Art meets technology on the shores of Lake Constance

In the listed building of the harbor station, the Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen combines the world's most important collection on airship travel with an art collection that includes the great masters from southern Germany from the Middle Ages to modern times. Around 1,500 exhibits on an area of over 4,000 square meters include unique objects - not just for Zeppelin lovers. The highlights include the walk-in passenger compartments of the LZ 129 Hindenburg in a true-to-original, approximately 33 meter long replica, a cabinet of curiosities about the cult object Zeppelin, and experimental stations that make the “lighter than air” principle understandable for young and old and can be experienced using a flight simulator.

Fragments of the airships such as frames, propellers, gondolas, high-altitude engines and gearboxes can be seen alongside historical sound, film and image recordings, newspaper articles and the equipment of the airships. They bring to life in multimedia who the pioneers of airship travel were and remember their greatest successes and the most terrible catastrophes. They also answer the question of how Graf Zeppelin managed to build an airship that is almost four times as big as an Airbus, but still lighter than air, and how he thereby left a lasting mark on the city of Friedrichshafen as an industrial location.
