Technology and Art
Friedrichshafen – On July 2nd 2000 it has been 100 years since the maiden flight of a Zeppelin airship above Lake Constance, the largest international event in airship aviation history ever took place in Friedrichshafen. At the 2nd of July 1996, the new Zeppelin Museum was inaugurated in the former port station. Once again, Friedrichshafen is the Mecca of Zeppelin-enthusiasts and friends of the airship aviation from all over the world. Since the opening more than 3.500.000 people visited the Zeppelin Museum, which presents its exhibition on more than 4.000 square metres.
The Zeppelin Museum, with a unique blend of technology and art, is showing what promises to be one of the most attractive and exciting exhibitions of our age. A major attraction and a spectacular eye-catcher is an almost 40 metres-long reconstruction of a section of LZ 129 "Hindenburg". Reconstructed to exact detail down to the last rivet, the legendary "silver cigar" allows visitors to enter via a ramp and saunter through the authentically furnished passenger cabins. Here, they can relive the atmosphere of transatlantic crossings in days of yore.
Radiating from this focal exhibit are various 'theme islands" presenting the life and work of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin and in rich detail, the history of airship aviation from the technical, socio-cultural, industrial and military perspectives.
