Do not rely on VERBAL Assurances !!
We see two things here. Both Lufthansa and German authorities are trying to make money out of us.
If Lufthansa says, "Yes. You need a Transit Visa", then that would be a blow to their business. So, they are trying to pacify their customers by saying that there is no need for any Visa.
On the other hand, German Consulates say, "Yes. You need a Visa", being wary enough not to instill any thought like "Ah, Yes... there is no need for any Visa" into travellers' mind.
Even though both parties respond customers with different answers, there is no assurance that whatever they say verbally can be shown as a proof at the time of transit.
Verbal assurances have no value!!
So, better go by what German Consulate states officially either on websites or in any PRINTED FORM obtained at the Consulate itself. Doing so would avoid leading into problems at the transit location.
It sounds like transit locations located in European countries are changing into TOLL GATES for Air Travellers, with two way tolls per trip amounting to USD 100... ufff!!
