Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin first started designing his dirigible ideas in 1874; and he eventually patented the idea in 1895. The first large scale dirigible was built in 1899.
The Zeppelin airships (of which probably the best known are the Graf Zeppelin and the Hindenburg) were built at the Zeppelin Company works in Friedrichshaven, Germany. The principal designer of all except the first of the airships built by the Zeppelin company was Ludwig Durr (1878-1956).
