The Star Alliance Lounge is in the Schengen part of the airport so you have to clear immigration to get there. People apparently do this regularly but seems like a hassle. There's also a United lounge in the Schengen part --- limited opening hours (only mornings).
The Star Alliance lounge and the United Airlines lounge are in the non-Schengen zone meaning you have to pass passport control twice to get to and from the lounge. Usually pretty quick if you have an EU-passport (and they'll let you in if you say you want to visit a lounge), but still far more hassle than using the SAS lounge.
The Star Alliance lounge has a very strict policy of not letting SAS passengers in (or other passengers who are supposed to use other lounges). Believe me, I have tried, not even speaking French worked.
The United Airlines lounge is quite OK though, not spectacular, but I actually like it.
Only open until 1 pm though, used to be open in the late afternoon as well for the daily ANA departure to NRT, but I believe ANA uses the *A lounge now.
I have not visited the new LH lounge, but I visited the old lounge and it was absolutely nothing to write home about (and located in the basement, making it feel like a dungeon).
Also *G passengers were only allowed inside the business lounge, not the Senator lounge.
