Yes - nothing, nada ... unless you have a UA*G Status, then you'd get access to any LH Lounge (but no sn/lx/os/contract lounge)

A SMART Fare will give you the service, one 23kg bag (NO elite benefits for extra bags), a standard seats (you can upgrade to a more legroom seat for a small fee, this is recommended)

Correct. TK*G is nothing in the Eurowings Group. Please don't even bother to show your TK-Card. Eurowings does partner with a few mileage programs though: UA, NH, SQ, AC

Yes, if you are booked into a SMART, BEST or BIZ Fare

Since there is no Eurowings Lounge (or a lounge with a Eurowings contract) the only option left for KSC is Priority Pass

Pretty much yes: 2x32kg, Lounge, seats with a blocked middle seat, free food. Miles with Miles and More, UA, NH, SQ, AC. Additional Lounge (LH SEN Lounge) benefits with LH, UA and NH Gold Cards.

DUS-MUC-KSC should price out.
If you book via LH, you get a GDS Fare.
Those GDS Fares have slightly different rules:
- No Basic GDS Fares, only SMART GDS, SMART Flex GDS, BEST GDS, BESTflex GDS, BIZ GDS and BIZflex GDS
- GDS Smart Fares include a free seat reservation for extra legroom seats.
Usually GDS fares are a lot more expensive. Cheapest SMART Fare via EW.com is 46usd. Thats quite good IMHO.
There is another GDS Special regarding bags: if you book the flight under a codeshare (eg. LH1234 TXL-DUS), then the LH Bag rules apply! Unfortunately there are no codeshares on the MUC-KSC or DUS-KSC routes (and GDS Fares are more expensive anyway..)
