It will be expensive to rebook my tickets outside of a MUC/FRA connection, but I'm OK to do it if I can't transit Germany later in the summer.

"Transit through Germany to travel to a third countryNationals of non-EU countries (third-country nationals) may enter Germany to travel to a third country if the following conditions are met:

1. the traveller remains in Germany (as country of transit) only as long as absolutely necessary to travel directly to the country of destination or another transit country;
2. the traveller is permitted to enter the country of destination or another transit country, if applicable.

The third-country national must provide evidence on entry that the conditions (1) and (2) listed above have been met. Airline or other travel tickets, etc. may be presented to meet condition (1). To meet condition (2), travellers can present authorisation of entry to the country of destination (e.g. a visa) or an identity document or residence authorisation for the country of destination, for example.
