On 3rd October 1978, Boeing 747-230 - number 21588 - was delivered to the German national airline Lufthansa. The aircraft was christened "Schleswig-Holstein" - the northernmost "Länder" in Germany - and registered D-ABYM. She served for Lufthansa for 23 years until her last flight in January 2001. After retirement she flew to Karlsruhe where she was dismantled and later transported by road and river to the museum at Speyer. A year later in March 2003, after careful re-assembly, the aircraft was installed above a raised platform within the museum.
