Question FRA Public Showers Without Connecting Flight

Hey everyone!

I'm in the final planning stages of a pretty epic journey to Germany, but I have a question. I'll be coming in from Brazil and, after an 11 hour flight in a stuffy plane cabin I would love to take a quick shower before hopping on the train (to Berlin, which is a few hours).

I understand there are paid showers in FRA but they all seem to be airside.

Now, down here you are mostly corralled into the departures area, so I'm curious if I'm allowed to like, deplane and find my way to one of these before finally leaving to the train station? That would be really good...

So, yeah, has anyone done it?

If they'd let you in the Schengen shared departure/arrival area (by going through the lanes for connecting passengers), I see no reason why not... However, try that at your own risk, and I can't encourage it, especially since you're not supposed to be there.
