Visit to the Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen
…featuring a model of the LZ 129 “Hindenburg” (the one that burned up in 1937), and a cutaway model of the passenger deck.
In the extra, a life size model of a segment of the airship, at its far end and illuminated is the smoking saloon (hermetically sealed against the hydrogen chambers).
A second extra shows a sheet-metal model of the day, emulating the oversea airship routes. Being only one of the vast collection of historic airship souvenirs.
For your information: a transatlantic sailing from Frankfurt to New York cost 1000 Reichsmark, this sum was a on-board mechanic’s salary of six months.
