Refused boarding [duplicate]

Hi I have been living in the UK for around 8 years. Me and my children are German citizens, my wife is an Indian citizen but she has a permanent residence card UK. She booked a flight via Germany: UK -> Frankfurt -> Munich -> India but they told my wife that she needs a transit visa for a flight to Germany.

Is that correct?
