High-speed (5)
- ICE
Germany’s busiest long-distance axis, the length of the country from the Elbe to the Isar via Hanover, the Fulda gap and Nuremberg.
Wikipedia ↗ - ICE Sprinter
The €10bn VDE 8 project: 26 tunnels and 37 viaducts through the Thuringian Forest halved the Berlin–Munich journey.
Wikipedia ↗ - ICE
The high-speed link binding Belgium to the Rhineland: past Liège’s soaring Calatrava station and over the language border at Aachen, Charlemagne’s capital, at 300 km/h.
Wikipedia (DE) ↗ - ICE
Down the Rhine-Neckar to Mannheim and up into the Swabian capital: a hard-worked spine of the south-west ICE network.
Wikipedia ↗ - ICE
A roller-coaster alignment beside the A3 autobahn with 40 ‰ grades: only the most powerful ICE sets are cleared for it.

How many train routes does Deutsche Bahn run?
6 of the routes in this atlas are Deutsche Bahn services, covering 2,263 km across 2 countries (Germany, Belgium). That is what this atlas draws, not the operator's whole network — a national railway runs thousands of local services no map of notable journeys would list.
What is the fastest Deutsche Bahn train?
The ICE Sprinter, Berlin to Munich, at up to 300 km/h. Its fastest scheduled run takes 3 h 55 min over 623 km.
Does Deutsche Bahn run night trains?
Not in this atlas. All 6 Deutsche Bahn routes listed here are daytime services.
When was Deutsche Bahn founded?
Wikidata records the company's inception as 1994, and files it as a concern. The oldest railway it runs over in this atlas opened in 1846 — the line and the company are rarely the same age, and this page dates both.
