A rigid airship designed by Albert Paul Veeh, who was from Düsseldorf, Germany. It was built by the “Luftschiffbau Veeh GmbH”, a company that Veeh had set up in 1910, and which changed it’s name to “Deutsche Luftschiffwerft GmbH” in 1911. Veeh had patented his ideas for a semi-rigid airship, which featured a solid keel hull structure running the full length of the airship, and which incorporated the passengers, the motors, and fuel. His design allowed easy dis-assembly of the entire airship. Although several test runs were quite promising in nature, later tests proved problematic and Veeh eventually lost interest and financial support for his venture. The first proper test flight took place on 11 July 1912, “Flight” reports further flights during 1913 and 1914. Veeh himself died in 1914, apparently broken by the project.
