I am flying to Charlotte from Chennai via Frankfurt and Munich in Lufthansa. The whole ticket is booked as one trip.

On traveling from Chennai, I have a layover at Frankfurt first and then one at Munich before I board the flight to Charlotte from Munich. Do I need to collect my baggage and check-in again during the layover in Frankfurt before I board the flight to Munich?

Note: This journey required a Schengen visa and I have got the same. So, I might have to go through the immigration while I'm at Frankfurt

    You need a type C Schengen visa (and not an “airport transit visa”) for this flight. You will indeed enter the Schengen area in Frankfurt and leave it in Munich, going through a passport check in both airports but you shouldn't have to collect your luggage.

If it's booked as one trip with the same airline, then the lugggage will be checked through to the final destination with a very high likelihood. To be absolutely certain, ask the Lufthansa employee at the counter when you check in in Chennai.
