This is a complete list of Zeppelins constructed by the German Zeppelin companies from 1900 until 1938. Other rigid airships that are also sometimes referred to as zeppelins but not built by Zeppelin are not included.
The Zeppelin company based in Friedrichshafen, Germany, numbered their aircraft LZ 1/2/ ..., with LZ standing for "Luftschiff [airship] Zeppelin". Additionally, craft used for civilian purposes were named, whereas military airships were usually given "tactical numbers":
The Deutsches Heer called its first Zeppelins Z I/II/ ... /XI/XII. During World War I they switched to using LZ numbers, later adding 30 to obscure the total production.
Since 1997, airships of the new type Zeppelin NT have been flying. They are not included here. They are not rigid airships and do not represent a continuity of design from the ones listed here.
First departed hangar on 30 November 1905 but failed to lift from Lake Constance; flew on second attempt, but damaged beyond repair after emergency landing.[2]
The first Zeppelin to be truly successful. Made a number of flights of significant duration before being enlarged and bought by the German Army in 1908. Used for training until decommissioned in 1913.[3]
Completed a 12-hour flight on 1 July 1908; attempted 24-hour endurance flight on 4 August 1908, but landed near Echterdingen after 12 hours to repair an engine. Destroyed when strong winds broke its mooring cables.[2]
Destroyed in storm near Echterdingen on 4 August 1908

Carried 1,553 passengers in 218 commercial flights.[9] On 28 June 1912 the Schwaben caught fire after a strong gust tore it from its moorings near Düsseldorf, injuring some of the ground handling party.[10]
After use by DELAG, taken over as a training airship by the German military upon the outbreak of World War I; broke apart while being hangared on 1 October 1915.[11]
travelled 44,437 km (27,612 mi; 23,994 nmi) in 399 flights; first passenger flight outside Germany, commanded by Graf von Zeppelin for visit to Denmark and Sweden on 19 September 1912;[12] Impressed by the German Army at the start of World War I and used for reconnaissance missions over the Baltic Sea and bombing missions over France. Used as a training ship from spring 1915.
Helgoland Island Air Disaster: brought down into the North Sea during a thunderstorm on 9 September 1913, drowning 14 crew members. These were the first Zeppelin fatalities.[13]
Destroyed in a storm over the North Sea on 9 September 1913
Accidentally crossed the French border on 3 April 1913 due to a navigational error in poor visibility, and landed on the parade ground at Lunéville, allowing the French to examine it in detail.[14][15][16] Used for reconnaissance over East Prussia in August 1914 and bombed Warsaw on 24 September 1914. Later used for training before being decommissioned in the autumn of 1916.[8]

Crashed Near Allenstein, East Prussia (today Olsztyn, Poland) during 26–30 August 1914
Carried out first airship bombing mission of World War 1 on 6 August 1914 when it bombed Liège, using artillery shells instead of bombs. Inadequate lift restricted it to low altitude so bullets and shrapnel from defending fire holed the gasbags. The ship limped to Cologne but grounded in a forest near Bonn, wrecking it.[17][21]
Limited to a ceiling of around 1,600 m (5,200 ft), on 21 August 1914 Z VII was sent to find the retreating French Army around the Vosges mountains in Alsace, and drop bombs on the camps. After passing through clouds Z VII found itself right above the main army, whose small-arms fire penetrated many gas cells. Leaking heavily, the crew force-landed the airship near St. Quirin, Lorraine.[17]
Force-landed near St. Quirin, France on 21 August 1914
Under the same orders as Z VII on 21 August 1914, Z VIII engaged the French army while at an altitude of a few hundred feet. According to Lehmann Z VIII received "thousands of bullets and shell splinters", forcing it to drift and make a forced landing in no man's land near Badonviller. The crew destroyed documents and tried to ignite the wreck but so little gas remained it would not burn: the crew were captured by the French.[citation needed]
After 24 reconnaissance missions over the North Sea, L 3 participated in the first raid on England on 19 January 1915. On 17 February 1915 abandoned after a forced landing in Denmark, caused by engine failure compounded by strong headwinds and insufficient fuel. The wind was so strong it blew the airship, now unmanned but with engines still running, out to sea.[22]

The crew abandoned the now-overstressed control cabin, dropped ballast and shifted loads to rebalance the ship and used an emergency control station in the rear to limp back to Germany. Upon forced landing the ship collapsed because material for repair and the supply of gas needed to refill the cells were not available.[32]

LZ 122
not realized
LZ 123
not realized
LZ 124
not realized (construction forbidden under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles)
LZ 125
Project abandoned Projected 236 m (774 ft) long, 29.9 m (98.1 ft) diameter transport airship with 17 gas cells, 12 Maybach Mb IVa engines with 10 propellers to carry 45-50 passengers.

Built as part of war reparations and ordered by the United States; transferred from Friedrichshafen to Lakehurst in 81 hours and 2 minutes, arriving on 15 October 1924, 9:52. Most successful US rigid airship, with just under 4,400 hours of successful flight in US Navy service. Decommissioned in 1932 as an economy measure, but recommissioned after the crash of the USS Akron in 1933. After flying for a few more years, it was retired to its hangar at Lakehurst until 1939 when it was struck off the Navy list and dismantled in its hangar.
Most successful airship in history; regular flights to North and South America; world tour in 1929, Arctic trip in 1931. Withdrawn from service in 1937 following the Hindenburg disaster and dismantled along with LZ 130 in 1940 upon order of Hermann Göring.

Project abandoned in favor of LZ 129 The LZ 128 was similar to the LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin, but shorter and wider. Designed as a passenger airship to carry 25 passengers and 10 tons of cargo, the LZ 128 was cancelled in 1930 due to the crash of the R101, the dangers of hydrogen being made clear.
Largest airship ever built (along with LZ 130). Intended for filling with helium gas instead of flammable hydrogen, which was, however, refused to be provided to Germany mainly by the US. Regular voyages to North and South America. Destroyed in Hindenburg disaster on 6 May 1937.
Total 30 flights (36,550 km, 409 hrs), mainly flight testing but also electronic warfare and radio interception over British coast and Polish/German border. Modified for helium, but none provided by US. Last flight 20 August 1939. Dismantled along with LZ 127 in 1940 upon order of Hermann Göring. Known simply as Graf Zeppelin (no numeral) as the original Graf Zeppelin had been retired.
LZ 131
not finished Version of the Hindenburg-class airship extended by 18 m (59 ft) to 263 m (863 ft) for around 80 passengers. Only a few frame rings were constructed before it was scrapped in May 1940.
LZ 132
Project abandoned Projected 265 m (869 ft) long, 41.7 m (136.8 ft) diameter passenger airship based on the LZ 131. Learning lessons from the Hindenburg disaster, the LZ 132 was designed to be inflated with helium. Top speed was 120–147 km/h (75–91 mph) as engines were located inside the hull. Two versions were proposed: a 100 passenger version for flights to North and South America and a 30 ton cargo freighter version. Project cancelled in 1957 as being too expensive.
