Flight rescheduled - should the airline pay for a hotel?

I have a flight booked for AMS-FRA-BOG. It was supposed to be a short transit in Frankfurt, but now Lufthansa have informed me that they’ve changed the date of the FRA-BOG sector, so I’ll be staying overnight in FRA.

I know when airlines change schedules/create delays at the last minute, they’d have to pay for a hotel if it’s an overnight. But they did this more than a month in advance so should they pay for a hotel, under EU rules?

    Have you asked them?

    I mean, the sensible solution would be to re-schedule your sector from Amsterdam to Frankfurt for the following day: I am surprised that they did not do this automatically.
