LH Arrival Lounge at MUC?
In a few days I'll be flying IAD-FRA-MUC on LH and I have about 2 hours to kill before taking a train leaving from Munich Central Station. Is there a lounge I (SEN) can use as an arrival lounge? Could I use the Schengen Senator Lounge? (I've searched this forum, but all answers deal with arriving at MUC directly from overseas, without an intermediate domestic stop.) -- Thanks.
US rules about domestic lounge access still don't apply in Europe, thankfully

Since you are arriving from FRA that shouldnt be a problem.
However, when coming off a longhaul flight at MUC, you need to make the right turns to get to the SEN Lounge (e.g. dont pass immigration!, after that its too late)

Additionally - depending on your train ticket or status with Deutsche Bahn - you can use the DB Lounge at Munich Central Station. They have a rather nice "First Class lounge" where you can watch the trains at this terminal station while having a beer and a small snck.

I have gone through MUC quite a number of times, but never had an occasion to wonder about using an arrival lounge there. If I arrive from FRA (on a domestic flight, LH94; not long haul), can I pick up my luggage on level 3 and then go back up to level 4 where the lounge is, or is that not possible? I wouldn't want my suitcase go round the baggage carousel for two hours.

You can't go back to the lounge after picking up your bags. Just go to the lounge upon arrival and pick up your bags near belt 8/9. Thats where all bags end up if they are not picked up from the belt.

No, baggage claim is outside the secure area, so you won't be able to go back to visit a lounge unless you have a BP for a departing flight.
Moreover, between the baggage claim area and landside are still customs control check points.
But its right, you cannot simply go back to the airside from the baggage claim area.
