I work it out to be 130.1 tones.
I worked this out thus:-
Hindenburg carried a gas volume of 7,062,000 cubic feet of Hydrogen. This volume of hydrogen, would produce 242.2 tons of gross lift and as Hindenburg's useful lift (the lift left after you subtract the weight of the structure from the gross lift) is documented at 112.1 tons.
Thus 242.2-112.1 = 130.1 tones (the weight of the craft).
