Magnificent real photo postcard (RPPC) showing the famous LZ 127 “Graf Zeppelin” flying over Friedrichshafen, Germany — the birthplace of the Zeppelin airship. Below, the serene scene along Lake Constance (Bodensee) features sailboats and the lakeside skyline of Friedrichshafen, while the massive airship dominates the sky above, its name and registration D-LZ127 clearly visible along the hull.Caption reads:“Luftschiff ‘Graf Zeppelin’ (L.Z. 127) überfliegt Friedrichshafen a. B.”(“Airship Graf Zeppelin (LZ 127) flying over Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance.”)The Graf Zeppelin, launched in 1928, was one of the most successful airships ever built. Operated by Deutsche Luftschiffahrts-Aktiengesellschaft (DELAG), it completed more than 590 flights and traveled over one million miles, including transatlantic journeys and a world flight in 1929. Friedrichshafen, seen in the background, served as the Zeppelin’s home base and headquarters for Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin’s pioneering company.This postcard, published by Kunstverlag Franz Walter, München, is marked “Echte Original-Photographie” (Genuine Original Photograph), confirming it as a true photographic print rather than a later reproduction. It beautifully captures the grandeur and grace of early aviation, when airships represented the height of luxury and technological achievement.Details:Original Real Photo Postcard (RPPC)Subject: Graf Zeppelin (LZ 127) over Friedrichshafen, GermanyPublisher: Kunstverlag Franz Walter, München (Munich)Marked: Echte Original-PhotographieEra: Late 1920s–Early 1930sDivided back, unusedCondition: Excellent vintage condition; light edge wear and mild toning; crisp, detailed imageA historically significant and beautifully composed aviation postcard showcasing the legendary Graf Zeppelin in flight above its home on Lake Constance — an ideal addition for collectors of Zeppelin memorabilia, early flight, or German aviation history.
