Thanks for the reassurance, Patron.
Having looked more closely at LH's schedules, they seem to be padded quite a bit: I see that TXL-FRA is only 269 miles despite its scheduled time of 1h15m - compare this to a NZ domestic flight, e.g. AKL-CHC which is also 1h15m sched time but is 448 miles. That should allow plenty of time for ATC delays and other SNAFU's...</font>
Taxi and bus time are great factors in FRA, just compare flight times from vs. to FRA.
