I miss traveling in first class on German trains with my late wife in 1979, when traveling in first class meant one of those wonderful compartments with window seats facing each other, playing backgammon with the portable playing board balanced on our knees as the beautiful countryside passed by...

Additional information for those who don´t know: you can choose your desired seat online and you can also get food and drinks brought to your seat. In First Class both is free of charge.

You can have a nice cold Weizen anytime and whether you're alone or not. 🎉 I actually love having one especially on a first class ride. Feels so wholesome 😊

The first time I took a train from Leipzig Hbf to München Hbf, was on an Inter City from Berlin Zoologischer Garten. It was about 3 PM on Sunday 12th July 1998 (gosh, almost 25 years ago!) and it was the same day as the World Cup finals, France vs Brazil (France won). The conductor announced the halftime and end results over the loudspeakers. What a memory of Leipzig to Munich.

I have not been to Leipzig since September 2013. I remember at some pub in Leipzig Hbf, enjoying a half liter glass of Hasseröder, before taking the local nonelectrified train to Bad Köstritz, home of the Köstritzer Schwarzbier.

As a BahnCard 100 I holder I think 1st class is kind of overrated, getting drinks and food served at your seat is really nice though.

I love Christmas time. Already looking forward to it.

At this point I'm so used to 1st class ICE travel that I refuse to travel on the ICE in 2nd class. The spacious leg room is just great and the seats are so much better.

ime there's very different first class experiences depending on the ICE version and the train line. My personal experience so far (i've gotten myself an upgrade every now and then when the bonus points allowed it) was a lot better with spacious desks for my laptop, free gummybears and whatnot and almost never anyone around me.

You should book a ticket in a "Abteil" where you have ur own door and cabin

Great thing is the lower tier seating is not that bad...
...in contrast to flying here in America (I never flown in Europe)

[LeoKators]

German trains are fantastic. If only they were reliable...

The idea not to have a beer because you're alone is completely alien toa German on a train. You travel long distance, so you make yourself comfortable and have your Feierabend beer.

[Bergdampf]

Just discovered your channel and I'm really glad I did. I'll probably need these tips when I get a year in Germany with work placement in a few years so thanks for this great content !

Do you have any idea how to purchase a high-speed train ticket from Germany to Luxembourg?

[melondasher]

Frame 1 and I was confused cos it looked like Leipzig but at the same time not because of the, as then explained what it is, Christmas lighting.

[Mallhall]

No beer?! You def seem to have a drinking problem.😅🤷‍♂️

hm everyting loosk normal. Table is normal size like second class, the view is the same everyting is the same. Ok you sit alone and get more legroom and get to hang your coat but thats the extra price fore ? Introverts does pey extra every time

[xXChrisBlahXx]

Funny enough, I'm german but I've never traveled first class and looking at your space .. it doesn't look much better than 2nd class. Which is also surprising to me.

[jokermorningstar]

I mean thats a simple way to make 1st class better, if you´d only clean the 1st class toilets and forget the 2nd class ones

[Chuulip]

So infuriating how first class is all that luxurious and comfortable and in "Holzklasse" they don't even manage to have enough staff to provide clean (let alone working) toilets...
