North of Frankfurt-A-M. LZ5 (ZII) had crashed there in 1910.
The majority of the museum is concerned with the local mining
industry and the airship exhibit was confined to one wall of
one room. There are six structural parts on show covering about
4' x 3' of wall. At the top an approximately 4' long bit of
a triangular longeron then an obviously heavily stressed longeron
piece where a tubular section joined it then three nondescript
structural pieces and a control-cable pulley. There were 15
large photos of the wreck, a number of which I had seen in various
Zeppelin histories. There were a number of good large photos
taken after the crash and during the dismantling of the ship
(with axes!). There were also some pieces of the structure on
show but I couldn't identify their position in the airship -- Peter

The official Zeppelin museum was
inaugurated at its new premises on 2 July 1996. Display space
4000 square meters. The main attraction is a 40 meter long partial
reconstruction of LZ 129 Hindenburg (to scale) on the basis of
the original construction plans.
 On 22 April 2007, Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen was
awarded the rare title FAI-Recommended-Museum by
the Federation
Aeronautique Internationale (FAI). Worldwide, only
24 museums have been honored this way. The title is indicative
of outstanding collections in aviation and especially valuable
exhibitions that further educate the public, but especially the
young people in the area of air and space travel. Over
the years the Zeppelin Museum has drawn attention to itself through
a series of exhibitions on the history of aviation. FAI,
founded 1905 in Paris is an international, non-governmental,
non-profit organization that worldwide organizes and coordinates
activities in the areas of air and space travel in some 100 member
countries.

Zeppelin museum at Meersburg, the site of the very
first hanger. It is excellent! Crammed full of stuff, bits and
pieces and models.
It tells the story of the airship on a much more human level
than the FN museum. The lady on duty took great delight in showing
me an unexploded Zeppelin bomb recover from my home soil when
she realized I was English! They have the only remaining bomb
release from the period as well. There is plenty of other stuff
to provide at least a couple of hours of browsing, from uniforms
and burnt maps from the L2 to china, pins and toys. The list is
endless.
The shop was a little barren but did have a small but highly
detailed paper model of the L59 - the topic of much discussion
on the list of late.
If anyone is planning a trip to visit FN make sure you leave
time for the trip to Meerburg. The town itself is beautiful and
worth the visit. For that matter the entire area is worth a least
two days of any ones vacation.
