Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin begann seine militärische Karriere in der württembergischen Armee, war zeitweise Kommandeur des Ulanenregiments 19 in Ulm, später württembergischer Gesandter in Berlin und musste 1891 als Generalleutnant seinen Abschied nehmen. Seit etwa 1880 beschäftigte er sich mit der Entwicklung eines lenkbaren Ballons und ab 1899 widmete er sich dem Bau seines ersten Luftschiffes. 1908, nach der erfolgreichen Fahrt von LZ 3, ernannte ihn Kaiser Wilhelm II. zum General der Kavallerie. 1917 verstarb Graf Zeppelin und wurde in Stuttgart beigesetzt. Von großer Seltenheit.
