What were the dimensions of the German WW I Zeppelin L-33?

Answer 1

L 33 forced landing near Brentwood, Essex September 24th 1916 during its first mission, in which 3200 kg bombs had been dropped. The crew were only partly successful in burning the hull, and British engineers examined the skeleton and later used the plans as a basis for the construction of airships R33 and R34 Kapitan-Leutnant Alois Bocker.

General characteristics of the R34
Length: 643 feet / 196 metres
Diameter: 79 feet / 24 metres
Hydrogen capacity: 1,950,000 ft³ /55,218 cubic metres
Gross lift: 59 tons / 53,524 kg
Disposable lift: 26 tons / 23, 586 kg
Powerplant: 5 x Sunbeam"Maori" 12 cylinder 275 hp /205 kW

Answer 2

There is not much written about Zeppelin L 33.
L 33 was known as a "Super Zeppelin".
On September 24, 1916, 6 weeks after launching, an airborne fighter and anti-aircraft guns caused the L 33 Zeppelin to crash land at Little Wigborough near Colchester, Essex.
The pilot was Kapitänleutnant Bocker.
The crew gave themselves up after having set fire to the ship, and though the fabric was totally destroyed, the structure of the hull remained intact, British naval constructors were able to evolve the R 33 type of airship from the Zeppelin framework delivered at Little Wigborough. Two vessels, R 33 and R 34, were laid down for completion; three others were also put down for construction, but, while R 33 and R 34 were built almost entirely from the data gathered from the wrecked L 33.
One 250 hp engine recovered from the crashed L 33 was subsequently substituted for two (of four) 180 hp engines on a Vickers-built machine, the underpowered R 9.
