DEEDS CALENDAR: Bild und Macht. Zeppelin-Fotografie im Fokus -Zeppelin Museum (Friedrichshafen) | until 12.4.2026

The exhibition ‘Image and Power. Zeppelin Photography in Focus’, which will be shown at the Zeppelin Museum from 6 June 2025, is the first comprehensive examination of the zeppelin as a photographic motif. It thus sets a new starting point in the examination of the visual history of the airship and shows how the image of the zeppelin was used as a tool of political propaganda during the German Empire, the Weimar Republic and the Nazi dictatorship. As a symbol of the conquest of the skies, technological superiority, military power and global networking, it became the bearer of an imperial claim to power. Based on this targeted media staging, the Zeppelin Museum presents ‘Image and Power. Zeppelin Photography in Focus’, the Zeppelin Museum poses the highly topical question of the power of images.
