Built in 1939 as a training and cruising plane at the Arado aircraft works in Brandenburg-Neuendorf, the Arado Ar 79 B flew for the French High Commissioner in Saarland after 1945. By 1967 she had changed hands several times. The German Museum of Technology in Berlin acquired the plane in summer 1995. The Deutsche Lufthansa Berlin-Stiftung restored the plane in a joint project at Lufthansa's Hamburg base and displayed her at air shows from 1996 to 2001. Since fall 2001, the Arado Ar 79 B has been on permanent exhibition at the Museum of Technology in Berlin.
