This sounds to me like a bit of flexibility to make re-booking happen
if there is a willingness to do so.
...In all other cases the original fare conditions of the ticket apply...
On the other hand, it looks like that flexibility can vaporize in milliseconds if the willingness is not there, so I suppose it pays to tread lightly when requesting accommodation on a tight connection.@:-)

I only rarely have connections on LH (since I mostly O&D from/to FRA), but I encountered one of those good souls last year. She booked me onto a flight I had to run for, and I sat next to the door to the lavatory at the back of an A321, but I arrived early enough in FRA to make my connection, while my original flight missed the last connection of the night.
