Unhappy Lufthansa claims my connecting flight was canceled, but it was not!?!

Hi,

My Lufthansa outward flight for 18-Feb-2023 consisted of two legs:
  • LH1407 - Belgrade, Serbia (BEG) to Frankfurt am Main, Germany (FRA)
  • LH54 - Frankfurt am Main, Germany (FRA) to Hanover, Germany (HAJ)
LH1407 started from BEG at 03:25 PM (with a delay of 1 hour and 55 minutes) and landed at FRA at 05:18 PM (with a delay of 1 hour and 48 minutes). As a result of the delay, I was late to board LH54. They could not put me on an another flight that evening, so I took a rental and drove to Hanover.
After that, I contacted Lufthansa Customer Service requesting compensation. I got a reply yesterday stating I was not eligible for compensation as LH54 was canceled due to exceptional circumstances, i.e. long waiting time at the security line. However, I remember checking LH54 status on 18-Feb-2023, it was listed as departed (and later on also landed) with minimal delay.

Does someone here have access to a historical flight status records to check whether LH54 was actually cancelled (or not) on 18-Feb-2023? A screenshot or a data record or something with that effect would be of help.

Any general or specific advice regarding compensation claim with Lufthansa for the situation described?

Thanks,
Ivana
