The quarantine rule, while discussed with the federal government, are set by the states. Depending which state is your final destination rules can be a bit different. In Hessen (where Frankfurt is) this is the official rule https://www.hessen.de/sites/default/...o_corona_0.pdf

Rough translation
§ 1

1. by land, sea or air from a country outside the Federal Republic of Germany enter Germany in Hessen or
2. have stayed in an area that was covered by the Robert Koch Institute identified as risk area for infections with the SARS-CoV-2 virus

The rules will be similar in all states but can differ slightly or change indecently of each other. In addition currently all countries world-wide are seen as risk areas for Covid-19.
