Frankfurt EDDF parallel approach - is it permitted?

I was lucky enough to take these pictures http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/4...pproachso0.jpg totally by chance while making short stop on my usual bicycle route. I was quite shocked seeing two Lufthansa planes approaching EDDF from the east (RWYs 25) in parallel configuration.
I don't know whether something has changed in regulations here in Germany and EDDF in particular but until now I though that such a parallel approaches were prohibited due to proximity of parallel runways.
How is it possible here in Frankfurt? Any professional comment will be appreciated.
