Is 55 minutes layover in Dusseldorf possible?
I'm planning to travel from Tokyo to Hamburg, my ticket is like below:
Tokyo Narita > Dusseldorf (ANA)
55 minutes layover
Dusseldorf > Hamburg (Eurowing)
Since I have never been at Dusseldorf Airport before, I want to ask if that 55 minutes layover is enough?
Apparently, I have to get out the plane at International terminal, go through customs (I have a long term, multiple entries Schengen VISA) and navigate to Domestic terminal.
Thank you all.

I'm posting an answer since I don't have enough reputation to comment DCTLib's answer. His luggage won't be sent straight to the flight to Hamburg. If I'm not mistaken, he is taking Eurowings from Dusseldorf to Hamburg, which means that this flight is independent of the flight from Tokyo to Dusseldorf since low-cost carriers mostly don't offer transfers. He is entering the EU/Schengen and passing customs in Dusseldorf

Is 55 minutes a long enough layover?
The recommended layover time for international flights is generally longer, as you will have to go through customs and immigration before boarding your next flight. In most cases, a 30-minute layover for domestic flights and an hour for international flights is considered a minimum, or short, layover.What is the minimum layover time between flights?
As a rule of thumb, on domestic routes, you need a minimum of 45 minutes between flights. That's because you don't have to go through security, customs, and immigration.Is Dusseldorf airport big?
D\xfcsseldorf is the fourth largest airport in Germany and handled almost 8 million passengers in 2021. It is a hub for Eurowings and a focus city for several more airlines. The airport has three passenger terminals and two runways and can handle wide-body aircraft up to the Airbus A380.How much time should you allow for a layover?
In general, Owens recommends allowing yourself at least two hours between flights if you're traveling from or connecting in a city that's prone to delays and your layover is in a large airport; and one hour if the layover is in a small airport.What to do if you have a layover in Dusseldorf
