"It was certainly a mistake to have done it in public. We (Loew and me) could have settled it in a different way," Frings told reporters. "We have since talked things over and for us this matter is closed," added Frings, who has 78 caps.
"I have been with the team eight or nine years and have never done anything negative to the team. Quite the opposite, I have always represented it with pride."
Frings was recalled for Wednesday's friendly with Norway in Duesseldorf along with captain Michael Ballack, who also had run-ins with the coach and manager Oliver Bierhoff following Germany's Euro 2008 final defeat by Spain.
Frings said he did not expect to start every game but felt he was the right age to continue playing for Germany ahead of next year's World Cup in South Africa.
"I think at 32 I am at the right age with considerable experience and good fitness," said Frings. "The whole talk of 'too old' is nonsense."
