On a forthcoming trip I too need to do the T3 > T5 transfer to finish off an ex-EU and I'd ideally like to collect a checked bag and drop it in left luggage before flying to DUS and back. But I only have 1 hr 45 mins to do the transfer assuming my inbound flight is on time. I can travel HBO so no big issue; will just limit my gift buying.
Yes. Conformance is 35 mins prior to your flight at T5. 1hr 45 mins is a little on the tight side for what you want to do - assuming you could even get your bag short checked.
