GIven lack of experience I can't give a positive suggestion in FRA as far as LH lounges go (passing through on Thursday though so if I feel smarter I'll drop back by this thread).
The UA lounge though is nothing at all special. Moreover it's the ONLY lounge in the C area which means LH directs traffic to it for any flights departing from C (notably the TLV flights which always leave from here). US Air flights depart from here too, so any US Gold's tend to head for the UA lounge too. You get the picture - a small room serving far more passengers than it was designed for.
The lounge is small, offers very limited munchies and is generally dreary. I certainly wouldn't make any special effort to either get to our use this lounge. The adjacent UA First lounge is somewhat better if only for it's lower usage.
