If your delay had exceeded 3 hours, it would have been LH which might have been responsible for EUR 300 in delay compensation. However, there are two issues:

1. Why was the flight delayed? The reason will matter.
2. It is possible that LH may miss this, but you were ticketed between two points outside the EU, e.g. BLR-DFW. Under recent CJEU precedent, the connections at FRA and ORD are irrelevant. Thus, EC 261/2004 would not apply at all.

If you could please provide the reason for the xFRA delay, it would be helpful in responding in more detail.
