This is a museum about the history of the city of Konstanz. It costs 3 euro to go through. You…read moreenter through the gift shop that has a lot of random stuff for sale such as kids ceramic owl piggy banks and dinosaur puzzles. My 3 year old daughter and I were the only ones in the place. There were very few things on display. A random mannequin of a woman in 14th century garb holding a fish, some paintings of medieval men and a skeleton are stand outs. I couldn't tell you anything about these pieces because everything is in German. There is also an old wooden sleigh that my daughter believes belonged to Santa Claus. There is a movie with English subtitles which was helpful and gives you the rundown of the city. The museum mostly covers the 1400s, then, randomly, on the 2nd floor there is a whole display with photos of the city during WW2 and Hitler/Nazi rule. It looks more like a celebration of this moment in history. Very strange. What is also strange is I was followed by an employee the entire time I was in the museum. Remember, my 3 year old and I were the only ones there. I am not sure if they thought I was going to take photos of their Nazi shrine or what. In any event, nice way to kill an hour while learning about Konstanz circa the early 1400's. Fun fact, in addition to their weird pride of their time with Hitler, they also love and idolize prostitutes. The cement statue by the lake that slowly spins is actually that of a prostitute or rather, courtesan.

One of my sons had recently read the I survived series with the Hindenburg disaster and I knew just where we could go to fully immerse ourselves into the zeppelin history. Lucky for us the Bodensee is home to the zeppelin and they have a whole museum dedicated to the history of it. If you're ever in the area and are into history the zeppelin museum is a must! Not only do you learn more about the Hindenburg disaster but there's so much rich history to learn here. Some dark history as well being the zeppelins role it played during the nazi Germany regime during WWII. But the ingenuity behind the zeppelin and its role it played to help airplanes get to where they are today is truly mind blowing. This rich in history, totally immersive experience will have you truly amazed. Even for the none-history junkies this was such a cool experience with plenty of artifacts, videos, and even a life sized replica of a zeppelin you can tour for the whole family

Overall, the museum is pretty impressive as far as what exhibits it has on display, to include the…read morelargest remnant from the Hindenburg. There are also pieces from the Graf Zeppelin, and a room full of Zeppelin memorabilia and collectibles. It was nice to see the audio commentary available in several languages, just wish that that the same could be said about some of the text as well. I just wish there was a focus on the DELAG airline, as I feel like that's a lesser known part of aviation history. Either way, if you're an aviation fan, this place is well worth your time.
