The history of Lufthansa begins with the Junkers F13, the "mother" of passenger aviation. The early years are followed by militarization, which began as early as the Weimar Republic, and the dark chapters of the Second World War. Unpublished archival images and impressions from contemporary witnesses bring unknown facets of Lufthansa to light.

Lufthansa fought its way back into the market starting in 1955. After a modest start, the 1960s brought in the first profits. As a state-owned enterprise, Lufthansa often served political interests, which led to financial problems in the long run. Despite these crises, Lufthansa developed into one of the world's most important airline groups.
