Transit Visa through Frankfurt?

Hi everyone,

I have been doing a bit of research on Schengen, and found a lot of the posts here with helpful information. However, I do have some lingering questions that I%26#39;m hoping anyone here would be kind enough to help answer.

To summarize, my situation is as follows:

1) Currently in Portugal for a non-paid work assignment

2) My Schengen visa was issued in an Asian country and is set to expire on Feb 19 (the 90th day of my stay)

3) I already got an extension of my visa, but is VALID FOR PORTUGAL only.

4) I depart Portugal on March 1, flying through Frankfurt

5) I was given assurance by the friendly clerk at the Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras that I don%26#39;t need a transit visa when I exit the Schengen area through Frankfurt

6) However, since that conversation, I have considered the possibility of taking advantage of the cheap Ryanair flights from Frankfurt to Marrakech (Morocco) before flying back to Asia

7) My desired itinerary is Porto-Frankfurt-Marrakech-Frankfurt-Hong Kong, spread over several days for my planned Morocco trip, without any plan or intention to leave the Frankfurt airport.

My question is:

Will I need a transit visa to re-enter Frankfurt from Marrakech, and if so, is there a possibility that I can get it, considering that my 90-days-within-six-months allotment has all been used up?

Is it possible at all to get a transit visa just for Germany and not as part of Schengen?

THANKS VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE HELP!
