Paul Haenlein was an aero inventor from Mainz. On 13 December 1872, he flew, from from the city of Brno, Moravia, a vessel equipped with a Lenoir engine which fed upon gas contained in the balloon.[1][2] His ship reportedly flew at a speed of 19 km/h.[3]

"He was the first to create a dirigible airship which was powered by an internal combustion engine."[4]

"In 1872 Haenlein obtained a U.S. patent (No. 130 915) to use the otherwise wasted gas in the dirigible's engines."[4]
