Wonderful JU 52 about to be grounded .... by LH‘s saving frenzy?

Unfortunately still only in German language, however the contents means, that Lufthansa will not sponsor the good old Junckers 52 anymore...and and that means this wonderful historic airplane could soon be grounded:
As I dont have enough posts here yet and am not allowed to post links, pls google for „Muss "Tante Ju" am Boden bleiben?“ .
This is another bad news only month after LH has stopped the rstauration of the Super Star project and is about to ship the remains to Germany, probably not to make it flyable again.
LH is a commercial enterprise, true.
However this company has a tremendous history in aviation and until now has been substituted the JU for many years.
Its very sad that apparently the economists in the board apparently have gained majority now and do not want to spend another penny into the remembrance of its own history.
Very sad for all those volunteers who spent hours by hours by acting as pilots, flight attendants or mechanics. Public statement by LH exspected by tomorrow...
