Friedrichshafen: Zeppelin Birthplace, Bodensee Promenade, and the Lake's Industrial Powerhouse
Friedrichshafen has a population around 58,000 and sits on the northern shore of the Bodensee (Lake Constance) in Baden-Wuerttemberg. Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin built and launched his first rigid airship here in 1900. The Zeppelin Museum, housed in the Bauhaus-style former Hafenbahnhof, holds the world's largest collection on airship history, including a partial reconstruction of the Hindenburg. Zeppelin NT airships still offer sightseeing flights from the city.
ZF Friedrichshafen, one of the world's largest automotive suppliers, has its global headquarters here. The Messe Friedrichshafen hosts major trade fairs including the Eurobike and Outdoor shows. The lakefront promenade offers views across the Bodensee to the Swiss and Austrian Alps on clear days. The Schlosskirche, with its two onion-domed towers, is the city's landmark. Konstanz is 20 kilometres west along the shore. The Austrian border at Bregenz is 30 kilometres east. Adult companionship follows Baden-Wuerttemberg's regulatory approach.
