gruezi tcswede and welcome to FlyerTalk and especially to the (so far) 'flame-free-zone' of the LH-Forum.
To my knowledge, no-one here was yet able to confirm (and give details) about the 'rumoured' high /higher status-level (HON status is of no real influence regarding Lounge-access or other perks).
What I know is, that currently, in (some) airports where LH offers also a Business-Class Lounge, they start 'trying' to get the Star-Gold members into those Business-Class-Lounges (and no longer into the Senator ones). This was/is currently more or less 'enforced' in Munich (and Düsseldorf), less reported (yet) in Frankfurt.
Any one here knows more details/concrete-plans of a new top-tier-status to be introduced?
