Honestly, when I was there it was a landing at Frankfurt (via Schipol in the NL) and then a drive to Mannheim. I spent a month there as a 18 yr old kid, of legal drinking age, and no planned itinerary. I was a guest to an Uncle and Aunt who were residing there. We went to all the places the locals go to... and it was a blast!
8 hours... I'm not sure you'd have time to hit a lot of "touristy" spots, and why would you want to? No sir, I'd get out of the airport and into downtown Frankfurt ASAP, and let the chips fall where they may.
Unfortunately, you'll be a far cry from Munich and Berlin, both a lot of fun.
One thing I recommend doing... ask a local where you can get good "LEBERKNODEL". Go and have some with whatever kind of beer you like. I like "SPATEN" beer. Both, the beer and the dish, are favorites of those from Munich/Bavaria. Very delicious.
I'd spend a majority of my time on foot, with only 8 hours, and downtown. There's plenty to see and do. Or you can get a rail pass, and go virtually anywhere, quite efficiently and on the cheap.
Viel Glück und viel Spaß!
