50 minutes is a legal, but very tight for a connection to a flight to the US. By the time you land at FRA, the MIA flight will start boarding.
Even the slightest delay out of TXL, which are not uncommon, will make you miss the flight. I would try to change it to an earlier flight from TXL, but since the connection is legal, LH may not let you.
