    Here is the Zeppelin Stone of Bad Homburg

    "Wilhelm II, Emperor of the Germans, inspected three airships descending simultaneously from the clouds at this location on the
    8th Kalends of May in the year 1811 (April 22, 1910)."

    Zeppelin stones are memorial stones that were erected as part of the Zeppelin and aviation enthusiasm, mainly before and during the First World War. For this purpose, natural stones (boulders) were often provided with an inscription or an additional plaque. In most cases, the erection of a zeppelin stone was directly related to the landing, crossing or accident of a zeppelin. Where it was not possible to set up a stone, other inscriptions were also used. (Wikipedia)
