Zeppelin-Boy
The sculpture is based on the motif of the boy with the LZ 3 on the Zeppelin fountain, created in 1909. As the only monument that was erected and inaugurated during the lifetime of earl of Zeppelin, the fountain figure symbolises the global development of Friedrichshafen`s industry, based on airship construction.
