Description

Das Tau hat eine Länge von 43 cm und einen Durchmesser von ca. 5 cm, die beiden Enden sind mit Messingdraht eingefasst. Anbei ein "altes" Etikett, welches Auskunft über die Herkunft gibt. Das Tau stammt aus den Überresten des LZ-129 "Hindenburg", geborgen von Carl Haag. Er gab es später an seinen Cousin weiter. Nach dem Absturz des Luftschiffes rettet Haag mehreren Personen das Leben. Anbei ist auch ein Bild, welches u.a. Carl Haag zeigt. Sein Bild war diesbezüglich im LIFE MAGAZINE abgebildet. Am 6. Mai 1937 wurde das Luftschiff bei der Landung in Lakehurst (New Jersey, USA) zerstört. Ursache für den Absturz war eine entzündete Wasserstofffüllung. Ein sehr seltenes Stück Zeitgeschichte.
