A Lufthansa Airbus A321-100, registration D-AIRR performing flight LH-17 from Hamburg to Frankfurt/Main (Germany) with 194 people on board, was climbing out of Hamburg's runway 33 when the crew stopped the climb at 5000 feet reporting problems with the left hand engine (V2530), shut the engine down and returned to Hamburg for a safe landing on runway 23 about 22 minutes after departure.

The airline reported the engine was shut down as a precaution as result of an irregularity with one of the engine indications. The passengers were rebooked onto other flights.
