What to expect

Friedrichshafen is a city located on the northern shoreline of Lake Constance in Southern Germany. The city has a rich history, having been established in 1811 as part of the new Kingdom of Württemberg. It is known for its role in the history of aviation, as it was the site where Graf Ferdinand von Zeppelin developed and built his famous airships. Today, Friedrichshafen features a wealth of aviation-related attractions and museums, including a Zeppelin museum. The city is also a popular lake resort with a convention center, an annual fair, and ferry connections to Switzerland.
