In order to provide a map according to the current timetables and to improve the design I have updated the long-distance train map for Germany from 2019.

The timetables only changed slightly in December 2019. New are for example the IC 17 line from Warnemünde to Dresden as such as the increased number of ICE Sprinter between Hamburg and Cologne (ICE 39 line). The trains from Hamburg to Copenhagen (IC 75 line) run via the Danish mainland and cross the border between Flensburg and Padborg instead of using the “Vogelfluglinie” and the ferry link until the end of 2019.

In comparison to the old network map 2019, I have changed the depiction of the frequency. The width of the line shows the frequency. There is no graphical difference between ICE and IC trains any more. In this way, there are no more dotted lines.

I made an effort on analysing the timetables carefully. However, if you discover any mistake in the maps, please let me know. Just be aware that I had to make numerous simplifications because the long-distance service is at times not very systematic. Please note that in some areas, the simplifications are different than made for the 2019 map, even the timetables have not changed.
