The German artice says something completely different. It appears that after $200M spent the restoration team is still not certain whether the aircraft may be fully restored to flying condition. Lufthansa decided to move the aircraft to Germany (as originally intended) and assess how/if the work may be completed by Lufthansa Technik.

Lufthansa spokesman Wolfgang Weber takled on Friday to FLUG REVUE, so far only the decision was made to move Super Star to Germany. When and how this happens, is still open. It was also unclear whether an airworthy restoration of the classic airframe was possible.
