It was named after Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, who was President of Germany from 1925 until his death in 1934.

The Hindenburg made ten trips to the United States in 1936.45 After opening its 1937 season by completing a single round-trip passage to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in late March, the Hindenburg departed from Frankfurt, Germany, on the evening of May 3, on the first of ten round trips between Europe and the United States that were scheduled for its second year of commercial service. American Airlines had contracted with the operators of the Hindenburg to shuttle passengers from Lakehurst to Newark for connections to airplane flights.
