Temporary exhibition

Chief forester Georg Baumgarten from Grüna in Saxony and the Leipzig publishing bookseller Friedrich Wölfert had spent years searching for a solution to the question of airship manoeuvrability. In the process, they repeatedly had to cope with failures, financial hardship and sometimes harsh criticism. Wölfert's collaboration with Daimler finally brought success.
