The 2026 long-distanc traffic timetable in Germany is dominated by systematisation. The trains show fewer differences regarding the routes and stops. As I only show connections occurring at least three times a day, this systematisation leads to more lines on my diagram: some single trains that haven't been shown before, are now grouped together, as … Continue reading Systematic Long-distance Services in Germany 2026
Systematic Long-distance Services in Germany 2025
The 2025 version of the long-distance rail map in Germany does not show many differences to the 2024 version of this map. I haven't changed the design or the structure. To make it clear that the map only shows connections that run at least three times a day, I have given it the new title … Continue reading Systematic Long-distance Services in Germany 2025
Long-distance Rail in Germany 2024
For the 2024 version of the long-distance rail map in Germany, I have totally rebuilt the map. It still shows the systematic long-distance trains in Germany (e.g. all connections that run at least three times daily). As the number and variety of connections is increasing, the main axes count more and more lines, whereas the … Continue reading Long-distance Rail in Germany 2024
Long-distance Trains in Germany 2023
Fahrplanwechsel! I have updated the long-distance train map of Germany again. It shows the systematic ICE, IC and EC trains in Germany. You can find the older version here. This year, some IC and ICE lines along the Rhine have been rearranged. The lines ICE 43 and IC 55 have been extended, so that there … Continue reading Long-distance Trains in Germany 2023

This year, major changes concern the ICE Sprinter trains that only serve a few stops. As the ICE Sprinter trains do not have specific … Continue reading Long-distance Trains in Germany 2022
Long-distance Trains in Germany 2021
Again, I created an updated transport map for the long-distance trains in Germany. The map combines all systematic ICE, IC and EC trains. You can find the older versions from 2019 and 2020 on my blog. The timetables changed only slightly. In December 2020, additional trains between Hamburg and Berlin (ICE 29) as well as … Continue reading Long-distance Trains in Germany 2021
The “Deutschlandtakt”
The German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure elaborated a concept to double passenger capacity until 2030. The number of trains is going to increase and the majority of the long-distance train lines will be rearranged. On the official website (German only), extensive netgraphs can be downloaded. Unfortunately, these graphs do not allow to … Continue reading The “Deutschlandtakt”
Long-distance Trains in Germany 2020
This network map shows the long-distance train network in Germany. DB created their own network maps for both EC/IC and ICE trains (links below). However, these maps include almost every single train with the full varieties of served lines and stops. As an alternative, my map focuses on the main long-distance train lines (at least … Continue reading Long-distance Trains in Germany 2020
