So I had to join the line again but could look at other passengers with the same problem. A little funny was the question of the officer if Germany were my orgin destination..... OK, lagauge came fast and we did our way to the rental cars...
In October 2016 when I landed at MRS from MAD on Iberia they also did intra-Schengen immigration. On a normal day, no problem.
However, my flight arrived directly behind Air Algerie and Tunisair so it was a mess. After waiting 30 minutes in the Non-EU line (US passport), I finally got through. Made a short hop from Madrid a real ordeal for sure.
