I haven’t been to Germany before but I found that there are 2 train terminals at the airport, are they close to each other?
thanks in advance for your advice!!
Yes, if your flight is on time then that is plenty of time. Without stopping, it takes about 20-25 minutes to walk depending on the arrival gate, so that gives an hour of time for customs and baggage claim. I don't know your immigration/passport situation, so I don't know how long it will take, but I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes for immigration (I haven't checked a bag though, so I can't say for sure the wait).
The two stations are right next to each other, just with some roads separating them. One is the S-Bahn (city/metro) train station, and the other is the mainline train (inter city) train station. Flughafen fernbf is the second one (mainline trains) and is located slightly further away - you will need to go up and across a bridge over the roadway to get to it, it is reasonably well signposted.
