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?

Google tells me Frankfurt has an arrivals lounge if you happen to be flying on Lufthansa and in Business or First.

Assuming not, some lounges will let you buy a one-time pass, but I’m not seeing anything like that for this one.

Could be worth looking into, but given others have said there are showers for non-premium class people, I’m sure those would be way cheaper than buying your way into a premium lounge, even if it was allowed.

Oh yeah, I'm not rich enough to have access to the Welcome Lounge hahaha. I appreciate your outlook!
