Isn't it that when you obtain the second BP at LH Frankfurt transfer desk before immigration then the baggage is all sorted for you?
That's when you buy one ticket for the whole journey...(defeating the purpose).

If you buy a ticket from A to B and another ticket from B to C, each carrier is only obliged to get you from and to those points. There is nothing to require the first carrier to get you onto the second carrier without entering B.
