Developed in partnership with design agency Atelier Brückner, the experience also addresses Lufthansa's role during the National Socialist era, acknowledging one of the darkest periods in the company's history.

Lufthansa says visitors will eventually be able to explore the interior of the Super Star, while the Ju 52 will occasionally open its cabin during special events.
Hangar One also features a café, a gift shop with exclusive aviation merchandise, and a dedicated children's audio guide accessible via smartphone QR codes.
