Along with its subsidiaries, Austrian Airlines, Swiss International Airlines, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings, it is the second-largest airline in Europe after the ultra-low-cost carrier, Ryanair. Lufthansa?s primary hub is located at Frankfurt Airport, and its secondary hub is at Munich Airport. BRIEF HISTORY OF LUFTHANSA Lufthansa is a well-known airline with a long and interesting history. Its predecessor, Deutsche Luft Hansa, was established in 1926. However, the company was dissolved after World War II due to its association with Hitler?s Nazi government. In 1953, former employees of Deutsche Luft Hansa founded Luftag (Aktiengesellschaft für Luftverkehrsbedarf). It was later renamed Deutsche Lufthansa Aktiengesellschaft. The latter is now known as Lufthansa, the flag carrier of Germany. BRANDING The Lufthansa logo, which features a stylized crane in flight inside a circle, was originally designed by Otto Firle in 1918. In 1926, it was adopted by Deutsche Luft Hansa. When the current company, Deutsche Lufthansa AG, was established, it continued to use the logo ? a yellow crane on a blue background.
