So, in my view, I believe that LH is clearly informing you that if you can't access the Schengen area, you'll only be able to visit two Senator lounges, not the First Class lounge and not the two Business lounges.
Totally fair that once you actually search Frankfurt and First class that is the result but I think the text of the article could be more clear. In any event, thats just my opinion that a lengthy article about the First Lounge reopening could include the few additional words that the only people who will have access are those traveling Schengen and that only one lounge location is available. Also, the supervisor I spoke with about this told me that the First Lounge has virtually the same food and beverage as the business/senator lounge. I pointed out that the article for the FCL says "High quality" and "Good selection" she agreed this was highly misleading and asked what page I found this information on (the Lufthansa home page duh!). I would not apply either of those terms to the offerings in the business/senator lounges. I would expect some alcohol to at least be available (perhaps splits of champagne or the mini bottles of wine or beer)-it is being sold at all of the outlets, why can't the lounges serve them for take away?? In any event this is all opinion and I won't be flying LH F for a while until this is all settled while LX and AF seem to have their ground services in order. I'm going to go back to enjoying the 8 EUR sandwich I bought at the outlet since the one served at the lounge was inedible almost and enjoy the rest of my three hour connection in this terrible lounge.
