This fine specimen of the classic piston-engined transatlantic airliner type was dubbed "Super Star" in Lufthansa service and introduced various innovations such as the Senator service.
Now, it will be re-assembled by our technical experts, apprentices and retirees into a static exhibit for the airline's 100th anniversary in 2026.
