    Zeppelin crew - probably LZ 26 - Allenstein


    Recommended Posts

    Hi All

    Some days ago I received a nice photo of two steuermanns from Zeppelin ship.

    Photo was taken in Allenstein, where was located one of zeppelin base (base was in village near Allensien called Diwitten)

    That was a reserve base for Koenigsberg as I know.

    On photo reverse is date - 5 December 1915. As I know in this time in Allenstein was only LZ26, and I think that these soldiers are from this ship.

    I'm looking for any information about LZ26 (Z XII) from time when he was in Allenstein. I am also looking for names of crew members from this ship.

    Maybe there is possibly to recognize soldiers from my photo.

    That will be great.

    If someone could help me, I will be appreciated.

    Hello!
    I love that photo!!!!

    Unfortunately I don´t have any infos about that Luftschiff.

    I only know, in Allenstein was the "Militär-Luftschiffhafen" and there also was the "Feldluftschiff-Trupp Nr.16" (disolved 1917)

    The LZ26 was tactically named as Z XIII. It had a volume of 25.000 cubemetres. It´s first flight was 14.12.1914 and it has been broke up august 8th 1917 in Jüterbog
