LZ-130 — named Graf Zeppelin — was the last large rigid airship ever built. Built from essentially the same blueprints as her sister ship, LZ-129 Hindenburg, LZ-130 was nearing completion at the time of the Hindenburg disaster on May 6, 1937.

仅仅12天后，德国闪击波兰，第二次世界大战爆发了。1940年4月，德国空军元帅赫尔曼·戈林下令将“齐柏林伯爵Ⅱ”号与另一艘未完工的lz131超级飞艇的骨架一并拆毁，构成其船身骨架的铝材被转用在军用飞机的生产上。

LZ 131 war ein im Bau befindlicher Zeppelin, der eine verbesserte Version der beiden vorherigen Luftschiffe LZ 129 und LZ 130 für den Beginn eines planmäßigen Zeppelin-Verkehrs nach Asien darstellen sollte. Das Projekt kam nicht über die Fertigung einiger weniger Spantenringe hinaus, die 1940 gemeinsam mit LZ 127 und LZ 130 verschrottet wurden.

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.

Plans for an LZ131, with an extra bay and carrying 100 passengers, were never far advanced. LZ130 was laid up in Hangar #2 at Rhein-Main Airfield, Frankfurt, with the outbreak of World War Two. Together with the original GRAF ZEPPELIN, the LZ127, the last and finest big rigid airship ever built was cut up for scrap in March 1940.

That dispatch in Egypt's Al-Ahram newspaper of March 24,1929, from correspondent Mahmud Abul Fath - already known as a forthright critic of Britain's role in his country - reflected popular indignation at the Egyptian government's refusal, on British "advice," to allow the great German dirigible to enter Egyptian air space during its first trip ...
