Oh man, I take an ICE roundtrip over twenty times a year. These days I have to plan a buffer of 2 hours between ETA and my Termin. These are tears well informed by experience.
Fuck Dusseldorf airport. Fuck Frankfurt airport. Fuck them right in the ass. But also fuck validating your train ticket at the other end of the platform seconds before getting on the train.
Validating tickets thankfully isn’t a problem any more. Most people have the Deutschlandticket now, so you can just jump into any regional train or bus without any problems. ICE and IC tickets also don’t need to be validated and are digital more often than not.
I’m an American and went to Cologne a few years back for Carnival. Flew into Frankfurt Airport, the train was right there and I was at my destination in about an hour traveling along a scenic river. Absolutely amazing!
My experience with Frankfurt has been that it’s always under construction and I have to be diverted around said construction to get to my connecting flight.
Cries in german.

Just add a 20 minute transfer time and hope for the best
