Dummy booking for return fares from MUC-XXX-CVG for tomorrow range from $2350-$4200 for main-D1, but during the length of my stay (Sep 18-28) there are a limited number of seats remaining for a return trip and also a larger range of prices. I expect them to be nearly sold out as the event gets closer.
I recognize that the last thing you want to do is drive (in Germany) after learning of a family issue, but I've flown out of FRA after Oktoberfest. I never even considered MUC at the time.

STR is also a good option since Mercedes-Benz and Porsche and others have their US HQ in Atlanta, so... Delta.
