I'll be transitting thru FRA on my way to JFK in LH C. I'm arriving from VIE (on LH) at 16:15. My outbound to JFK is 17:20.
Will I have time to visit the lounge?

don't go to any FRA lounge before you passed the secondary screening (which is obligatory for all flights to the USA). Than there you might perhaps still use the LH lounges there for some minutes, which are just in the middle of the Rondell (business and Senator, same entrance, one level above depature gates) for those US-bound departure gates.

Remember too that there is a line to get in to the actual gate area. So once you clear the mandatory security checkpoint to get into the section of the terminal where the US-departures are, you still have to get in a line to have your passport re- re- reviewed, and your boarding card fed into the reader, then you can sit down, then get up and get in a rather unorganized line to actually board the plane. Personally I'd just go the gate and forego the lounge experience.
