Buying Rimowa At the Airport

Hi All,

I plan on buying Rimowa in the Frankfurt airport but it's the larger checked luggage versions. Is there anyway to get my Tax Refund during a transit?

I know I can check my luggage at the gate so it should not be an issue.

Here's my exact flight itinerary
IAH-FRA(stop over) - VIE
VIE-FRA(Transit, and planning to buy Rimowa's , same day) - IAH

If I do qualify for my VAT refund, where would I take care of this and do I need to print out the VAT form in advanced since they won't have it at the airport?

Note: I only have 1 hour exactly for transit from OS to LH International. Not sure if they are the same terminals.
