"Transit" is listed as an exceptional reason that allows an unvaccinated US citizen to enter Germany. But I don't see "transit" defined anywhere. Would my 20-hour, self-connecting layover, including passing customs, be allowed?
Unless you are permitted to enter Germany, you will almost certainly be denied boarding to FRA as this is your ticketed destination.
