The Zeppelin LZ 7 “Deutschland” was the seventh passenger airship built by Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH in Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance. It was operated by the Deutsche Luftschiffahrts-Aktiengesellschaft, but crashed nine days after its maiden voyage, on 28 June 1910, during a storm at the Limberg near Bad Iburg in the Teutoburg Forest after one of its engines had failed.
