More often than not, my financee , who is a naturalized German citizen, has to cope with this nuisance at Frankfurt.
Being a naturalised german on indo-german descent (mothers could pass on german citizenship only since 1976 which when we applied) I've never been treated even a bit differently. The only thing I notice is that my passport is scanned for a schengen SIS check when some 'german' are allowed to pass after a quick look at the biometric page in the passport.
