they used to have this at FRA. one runway and two glide slope antenna. One for the heavies and one for the medium aircraft. In this way they could reduce the wake turbulence separation on final.
Also, there were two thresholds on that runway associated with the two separate G/S antenna's.
Haven't been there for a while though. The idea seems to have been abandoned in EDDF.
