Introduction

Owing to the size and complexity of the German railway system, the Obscure Services listing is subdivided by Land (Province). Berlin and Bremen are separate Länder, but it is convenient to include them with Brandenburg and Niedersachsen respectively. Details of Other Sparse Services, Services not included in the DB Kursbuch and Deletions since previous edition can be found below.

The stations at which long-distance trains start and terminate may vary, depending on the date. Where there are more than two possibilities, such as a train terminating at Kassel, Hannover or Hamburg, only the shortest and longest itineraries are indicated in the lists on this site.

A brief Guide to German railway terminology is available.

This list is based on the timetable dated from 12 December 2021 to 10 December 2022, unless otherwise stated.

Regular services not in the Kursbuch

The following lines are not included in the online DB Kursbuch, but timetables can be found on the websites shown. Long-distance services appear in most, but not all, tables in the Kursbuch where they would be expected to be found, so the DB journey planner or the European Rail Timetable is often the best guide to these.

All Flixtrain services flixtrain.com/all-timetables. Note that both flixtrain.com and flixtrain.de just redirect to the Flixbus site so this particular address needs to be used.
