Friedrichshafen, District capital on Lake Constance, Germany
The city stretches along the northern shore of Lake Constance, with mountains in the background and a waterfront promenade spanning several kilometers.
King Frederick I established the city in 1811 by merging the settlement of Buchhorn with the village of Hofen to create a trade port.
The Zeppelin Museum in the former harbor station building presents the complete history of German airship development through original artifacts and documents.
Friedrichshafen connects to Switzerland via regular car ferries to Romanshorn and offers high-speed catamaran service to the city of Konstanz.
The headquarters of Zeppelin NT continues the airship manufacturing tradition by producing new technology dirigibles for tourism and research purposes.
