Friedrichshafen is best known in Germany for its long association with Zeppelin airships. Set on the northern shore of Lake Constance, the city looks across the water toward Switzerland and the Alpine foothills. Ferdinand von Zeppelin developed his pioneering rigid airships here, and the Zeppelin Museum, housed in the former harbour railway station, traces that engineering legacy. Friedrichshafen is also home to the Dornier Museum, dedicated to aerospace history, while ferries and passenger boats make its waterfront an active link across the lake.
