No expert, but I believe the LHR routes, and domestic trunk routes, among others.
They are not that old, and as for a replacement: none for the time being.
They are good at what they do, and there is no replacement available at the moment, except for the 783. We'll see if LH is interested in the 787 in the future...

Others will defiantly have better info, but this will get you started.

The A300's are all based in FRA. They use it on high density short haul flights like FRA-LHR or FRA-CPH but also used on routes to for example Moscow, Larnaca, Barcelona, Athens or Lisbon (all out of Frankfurt) and domestic flights (actually most of the flights) like Berlin, Hamburg and Munich. They are also rare visitors to BRU as well (last Friday there was one).

I remember flying FRA-PHL on one of LH's A-300's in the early nineties. However, i don't think they use their busses on transatlantic routes anymore

I noticed you are swiss or live in Switzerland. Well, now it's time to spot an A300 there as Swiss will use one on some of their ZRH-Africa routes (like Douala, Dar es Salaam and Yaounde) because they need the A330 wich operates the routes on their extra NYC flight. Unfortunately the flight is operated by Hapag Lloyd so I guess it won't be in their own colours.
