TK opens their first own lounge outside Turkey in Moscow this month. The design is identical to the lounge in Istanbul.
New York was supposed to get the first TK owned lounge outside Turkey, yet they have trouble finding the right space in the terminal.
I'd assume that MUC is also on the list for a dedicated lounge given it's a major business destination and the 6 daily departures on TK metal to Istanbul.
It will be interesting to see if *G pax are allowed to bring one guest to the Atlantic Lounge.
MUC Terminal 1C already houses the Emirates lounge and Etihad is also building their own lounge.

Besides I am happy that TK moves out of *A terminal in MUC, so more space in so crowded LH lounges.
Since AC has their own lounges in FRA, LH lounges are more pleasant, with lots of space to sit down
Hence the Shuttle Service

Then you did not visit lounges of other airlines. If I compare those to SEN lounges, than I must say they are in the upper level. Go to United lounge anywhere in the world they are horrible. Like a canteen!

The Atlantic lounge might not be a fancy one, but if there is plenty of space and is not as crowded as the LH ones, then this might be a blessing in disguise. Here is a report that I was able to find about it with pics. I will be flying on 5/18 and will check it out if I have time.

I found this lounge underwhelming and just functional. Thankfully it was not crowded when I visited and I had plenty of room to stretch. Here is a link to my report:

Since the lounge would be in Schengen it might be more convenient if Turkey signed the Schengen agreement which should be possible without being a member of the EU.
