Since you flew on LH you don't have access at arrival or connecting. The rules for access to a United Club when traveling Business Class on a Star Alliance member airline say: "The customer may only access a United Club location at the departure airport for their business class flight".
I assume that the OP is not *Gold as the list only includes AA EXP and entry to the United Club was denied.
