Visa free transfer possible through Dusseldorf and or Munich?

Upvote:3

Munich is not a problem at all, DΓΌsseldorf seems a bit trickier, according to the German Missions in the US:

Munich (open 24 hours)

DΓΌsseldorf (6:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. only) and if the airline has arranged the transit beforehand with the authorities responsible for cross-border security (the Federal Police)

Russian citizens don't need a visa to transit airside and if it weren't the case, a Canadian residence permit would exempt her of the transit visa requirement anyway so no problem here. On the other hand, she cannot go landside (which means she cannot pick up her language, switch airports or anything like that). So if there is no transit area, an airport transit visa is of no use and a regular Schengen visa is needed.

See Do I need a visa to transit (or layover) in the Schengen area? for all the details.
