The Zeppelin Museum is dedicated to Ferdinand von Zeppelin's 19th-century invention. The first Zeppelin took flight from Friedrichshafen over Lake Constance and history was born.
The museum houses a life-sized replica of the Hindenburg (since the original crashed over New Jersey) hull and its guest rooms and lounges. The museum also exhibits other transportation ideas developed during that period of history.

Friedrichshafen's Schlosskirche (Palace Church) is actually a Lutheran parish completed in 1701 to serve local church members. The monastery which was later converted into a palace and is closed to the public.
The church itself is open to for tourists from April to October each year. It has two 180-foot-tall towers and a dome made from local sandstone. Unfortunately, the church sustained severe damage during allied bombing in World War II, and much of its original design was lost, but it is still worth a vist.
