City in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, on the northeast shore of Lake Constance, 115 km/71 mi southeast of Stuttgart; population (1994) 56,200. The town is a resort and conference centre, and has car and aerospace industries.

During World War I and in the interwar years, Friedrichshafen was the home of the Zeppelin airships and flying boats built by the Dornier aircraft company.
