I'm only about 25% wanting to do this, because is it really worth any risk for such a silly purpose.
You can always just fly to Turkey unless you really just want to turn around in Germany for some reason. If you really want to stop in Germany I'm sure you can transfer there on UA/LH onward to IST. No one will give you any problems doing that.
