Airship Schuette-Lanz SL 1 before landing, 1912

After the Zeppelin crash in Echterdingen in 1908 the airship designers Dr. Schuette and Dr. Lanz began the development of a new streamlined airship type.

On 28.02.1914 the second Schuette-Lanz airship took its first flight. The S.L.II. during the landing approach
