From what I can tell by the station layout is that it must be lockers and that they are located about everyother track. Is anyone able to verify this? Also, would there be an issue from taking a backpack into the musuem (regular everyday backpack)?
At this point on 3/14 I tentatively plan to take ICE Munich-Stuttgart, S-Bahn to Porscheplatz and back and then ICE to Frankfurt via Mannheim. DB prices this out all on one ticket, but I am curious how will the S-Bahn portions be handeled when I get my ticket? Are they ticketed like the rest of my legs or is it in the form of a city-mobil ticket or ??
Also, any recommendations for hotels near Frankfurt Hbf? Have a few in mind, but would'nt mind hearing what everyone might recommend...
As for heading to Garmisch/Zugspitze, I am going to leave that to be an open question to be setteled when I wake up on the 13th. If I get up early enough and the weather looks good, then more than likely I will head on down there and get back to Munich in the afternoon.
If you purchase S-Bahn ticket along with your ICE ticket, all you need to do is show your online ticket to an agent if you run into one in S-Bahn (I did in Stuttgart). One thing with S-Bahn is they don't run as frequent on weekend than weekday, you might want to check and print out the online timetable at

I am not sure your schedule going to look like that day, but you can take and early train from Munich to Stuttgart and leave late afternoon (TGV Munich to Stuttgart, ICE Stuttgart-Frankfurt for 49 Euro 1st class) 6-7 hrs should be able to cover both museums. As for carry backpack to the museum, you should be fine, I carry mine along with Tripod to both museums. As a matter of fact, I saw a guy had a tripod with dolley in Mercedes Museum.
