how on earth are you supposed to know ahead of time whether you need to change trains or stay on the same train when going intercity? Obviously if you get to the departure station and it says your target destination on the train info then you're fine, but the tickets are ambiguous. Tickets for trains that don't require a transfer will also often specify different train codes and platforms

Is there a trick or some way of knowing from ticket data alone?

Ask the info desk to print you an itinerary. Also, if your ticket is not a savings offer ticket, but a flex ticket, then you can take whatever trains you like from start to destination as long as they're not of a more expensive type than what you booked.

Generally you look up your connection info ahead of time/while you buy your ticket. At the counter they usually print it out for you, online or at the machine you have to select a connection before you get to pay and it tells you how many changes there are. Tickets also look different depending on where you get them and have different amounts of info on them.

Hm so if we are recreating the trip online via the DB website and it automatically inserts the stop off in the midpoint city, does that mean it's not a transfer connection and you just stay on the train? So connections would have to be inserted manually while booking

If it's a transfer, you'll get a different train. If it's not a transfer, you'll have a single train.

How are you buying the tickets, online or in person at the train station/at one of the automats? The online ticket that you print out is pretty idiot proof and looks like this for a transfer ticket:



Here I left from Darmstadt, got on the RB15390 to Frankfurt. It arrived at 8:48am at Platform 10, and then my next train is ICE 1535 leaving Frankfurt at 9:02 from platform 13. This ICE I rode to Berlin, where I got off. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem but it seems pretty straightforward.

If I understand this correctly, it means you're changing trains. But without knowing the connection that you're looking at specifically, it's kinda hard to tell.

Not sure I follow you there. But if you enter the start and destination points of your journey on the DB website, you'll get a suggestion of different connections, with a column in the list labelled "Chg." that tells you how many changes there are; then when you click "show details" on a connection with changes, you'll see where you have to change trains and how much time you'll have. (All assuming you have the site set to English.)

If you want to specifically put in a stopover at a city on the route, you can go on the DB website, click on first the dropdown menu arrow where you enter your start and destination and then "Further options", and there you can enter a stopover along with desired length of time.

If you have a situation where it's like

Neustadt: Ankunft 12:30, RE 123, Gleis 2
Neustadt: Abfahrt 12:50, RE 345, Gleis 2

That may or may not be the same physical train, so it may or may not be appropriate to stay in your seat, ask your Schaffner.

Yeah sorry, that's what I would have figured too except that the second train doesn't have a platform number for the change. And on another train that mum took a few days ago, the different train code (produkte) also occurred (as well as showing the platform number at the interchange station) and yet she didn't have to change trains, so that was a bit weird and made me wonder if there was another ticket-based way of knowing.

In the end we just looked up the train itinerary for the first leg and yeah, we do have to change. Next time I'll do more research, I kinda winged this trip a bit

And apparently mum was also checking the train details on the third party booking site, not the DB site which clearly shows the full itinerary. Whoops, I also should have double checked that before posting, I told her to use DB but I guess she didn't

Thanks guys

What do you mean now? It's an Einschub, because you can read the sentence without it:
"Die Verletzungen von Magnitz verden laut den Ärzten wieder heilen"
So the "er hatte zahlreiche Prellungen und Platzwunden erlitten" is a full sentence that just gets inserted, and denoted with commas.

I'll admit that I have no clue about what's proper and right, but that construction strikes me as very unusual.

Die können durch den direkten Aufprall dahinein gelangt worden sein, aber natürlich auch, falls er durch einen Schlag zu Boden fällt, und auf dem Boden hin und herbewegt.
Die Dichte der schwarzen Partikel müßte aber Auskunft geben.
Dazu müßten aber die Ärzte der Schweigepflicht entbunden werden.

Die Polizei hat Videoaufnahmen von der Tat gesichert und ermittelt wegen des Verdachts einer gefährlichen Körperverletzung. Die Bilder zeigen zwei Personen, die sich dem 66-Jährigen von hinten nähern, eine dritte laufe versetzt dahinter, teilten Staatsanwaltschaft und Polizei mit. Einer der Unbekannten habe Magnitz von hinten niedergeschlagen, woraufhin dieser gestürzt sei. Anschließend sei das Trio vom Ort des Geschehens geflüchtet.

That's merely the case because in internet culture people tend to prefer Gedankenstriche, Klammern or simply using shorter sentences as they are easier to write with a lesser chance of mistakes.

Constructing Hauptsatz, Hauptsatz, Nebensatz, or even just setting up multiple Hauptsätze as Einschübe and separating them via comma is completely correct and you can find it quite often throughout any kind of regular Prosa, both old and new.

Speaking of school stuff, apparently there's another movement towards weakening the Schulpflicht: https://www.zeit.de/gesellschaft/schule/2019-01/homeschooling-schulpflicht-menschenrechte-wuerde-kinder

quote:

Schulgegner aus Hessen sind mit ihrer Beschwerde beim Europäischen Gerichtshof für Menschenrechte gescheitert. Die Eltern hatten ihre Kinder zu Hause unterrichtet und sich der Schulpflicht widersetzt. Daraufhin waren die Kinder von der Polizei abgeholt und sogar zwischenzeitlich von ihren Eltern getrennt worden. Die Straßburger Richter hielten nun fest, dass mit dem teilweisen Sorgerechtsentzug zwar das in Recht der Eltern eingegriffen worden sei, die Gründe dafür seien aber "relevant und ausreichend".

Der Hintergrund: In Deutschland gilt seit genau hundert Jahren die Schulpflicht. Das bedeutet, jedes Kind zwischen 6 und 15 Jahren muss eine Schule besuchen, entweder eine öffentliche oder eine staatlich genehmigte private Ersatzschule. Eine generelle Befreiung von der Schulpflicht aus pädagogischen oder religiösen Gründen ist nicht zulässig.

Der Rechtsanwalt Andreas Vogt hatte die Eltern in Deutschland bis einschließlich zum Bundesverfassungsgericht vertreten. Der Streit um das nicht erlaubte Homeschooling ist einer der Tätigkeitsschwerpunkte des im nordhessischen Eschwege niedergelassenen Anwalts. Sollte es ein Menschenrecht sein, seine Kinder zu Hause unterrichten zu dürfen?
