Zeppelin Z II Relic Medal (obv)

Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Al-Medaille von Julius Eduard Bennert, Köln, aus dem Metall des abgestürzten Zeppelins Z II (LZ 5) 1910 (50,7mm, 15,9g), Kaiser Nr. 355; geprägt bei Mayer & Wilhelm, Stuttgart, in Abwandlung einer dort kurz zuvor geprägten Medaille, Kaiser Nr. 330[1]

Vorderseite: Drei Luftschiffe über dem Stadtpanorama von Köln mit Deutzer Schiffbrücke, Groß St. Martin und Dom. Im Abschnitt neben dem Kölner Stadtwappen das Datum der Parade von Bad Homburg.

Anmerkung: Als der im Reichsluftschiffhafen in Köln-Bickendorf stationierte Zeppelin Z II auf dem Rückflug von einer Parade in Bad Homburg am 25. April 1910 bei Weilburg durch böige Stürme zerstört wurde, schickte der Kölner Luftschifffahrtsmedaillensammler Julius Eduard Bennert (1856–1929) seinen Sohn Andreas mit dem Motorrad nach Weilburg, um Aluminiumreste des Zeppelins zu ergattern. Aus diesem Aluminium konnte er nach seinen Entwürfen 22 Exemplare einer Medaille prägen lassen.[2]
English: Al-Medal by Julius Eduard Bennert, Cologne, from the metal of the crashed Zeppelin Z II (LZ 5) 1910 (50,7mm, 15,9g), Kaiser Nr. 355; struck by Mayer & Wilhelm, Stuttgart, in modification of a medal minted there shortly before, Kaiser Nr. 330[1]

obverse: Three airships above the city panorama of Cologne with Rhine Bridge, Great St. Martin and Cathedral. In the exergue, the date of the Bad Homburg parade next to the Cologne city coat of arms.

Note: When the Zeppelin Z II, stationed at the Reichsluftschiffhafen in Cologne-Bickendorf, was destroyed by gusty storms on its return flight from a parade in Bad Homburg on April 25, 1910, near Weilburg, the Cologne airship medal collector Julius Eduard Bennert (1856-1929) sent his son Andreas by motorcycle to Weilburg to get hold of aluminum remains of the Zeppelin. From this aluminum, he was able to have 22 copies of a medal minted according to his designs.[2]
