It runs hourly from Hamburg-Altona via Hamburg Hbf, Hanover, Göttingen, Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe, Fulda, Würzburg, Nuremberg and Ingolstadt to Munich. Individual trains are through-run to Rostock; coupling trains to Bremen, Oldenburg and Lübeck were discontinued with the 2026 timetable change. Trains of the ICE 4 series are used.\n\n## Operator\n\nThe operator is [[organization_db_fernverkehr|DB Fernverkehr (DB Long-Distance Transport)]].\n\n\n## History\n\nICE services on the Hamburg/Bremen–Munich axis via the Hanover–Würzburg high-speed line have existed since 1 June 1992, initially under line number 4. Since 2019, line 25 has run exclusively via the Nuremberg–Ingolstadt high-speed line. Until the 2026 timetable year, wing trains started every two hours in Bremen or Oldenburg and were combined in Hanover with the trains from Hamburg, Kiel or Lübeck; for better punctuality these coupling trains were discontinued.\n## Major stations\n\nThe line serves, among others, the following stations:\n\n- Hamburg-Altona\n- Hamburg Dammtor\n- Hamburg Hbf\n- Lüneburg\n- Hannover Hbf\n- Göttingen\n- Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe\n- Fulda\n- Würzburg Hbf\n- Nürnberg Hbf\n- Ingolstadt Hbf\n- München Hbf\n\n## Further information\n\nline_frequency: hourly", "url": "/concepts/ice-25.html", "lang": "en", "availableLangs": [ "zh", "en", "zh-hant" ], "conceptKind": "rail_line" }, "entities": null, "tags": [ { "id": "tag-rail", "slug": "rail", "name": "铁路", "names": { "zh": "铁路" }, "count": 58 } ], "mentions": [ { "fromId": "place_de_bremen_hbf", "fromTitle": "Bremen Hauptbahnhof", "fromUrl": "/en/places/de-bremen-hbf.html", "fromType": "place" }, { "fromId": "place_de_frankfurt_flughafen_fernbahnhof", "fromTitle": "Frankfurt Airport long-distance station", "fromUrl": "/en/places/de-frankfurt-flughafen-fernbahnhof.html", "fromType": "place" }, { "fromId": "place_de_hamburg_hbf", "fromTitle": "Hamburg Hauptbahnhof", "fromUrl": "/en/places/de-hamburg-hbf.html", "fromType": "place" }, { "fromId": "place_de_hannover_hbf", "fromTitle": "Hanover Hauptbahnhof", "fromUrl": "/en/places/de-hannover-hbf.html", "fromType": "place" }, { "fromId": "place_de_muenchen_hbf", "fromTitle": "Munich Hauptbahnhof", "fromUrl": "/en/places/de-muenchen-hbf.html", "fromType": "place" }, { "fromId": "place_de_nuernberg_hbf", "fromTitle": "Nuremberg Hauptbahnhof", "fromUrl": "/en/places/de-nuernberg-hbf.html", "fromType": "place" } ], "versions": [ { "revision": 5, "updatedAt": "2026-10-28T00:00:00+08:00", "message": "当前版本", "hasSnapshot": true, "url": "/en/concepts/ice-25/at/5.html" } ], "lang": "en", "availableLangs": [ "zh", "en", "zh-hant" ], "infoFields": [ { "key": "concept_kind", "label": "Concept kind", "value": "Rail line" }, { "key": "line_last_extension", "label": "Last extension", "value": "Fahrplanwechsel 2025/26 (Fahrplanjahr 2026): Entfall der Flügelzug-Verknüpfungszüge ab Bremen, Oldenburg und Lübeck; Einsatz nur noch mit ICE 4; Lüneburg wird stündlich bedient" }, { "key": "line_termini", "label": "Termini", "value": "Hamburg-Altona – München Hbf" }, { "key": "line_structure", "label": "Structure", "value": "Ausbaustrecke Hamburg–Hannover; Schnellfahrstrecke Hannover–Würzburg bis Fulda; seit 2019 ausschließlich Schnellfahrstrecke Nürnberg–Ingolstadt nach München; einzelne Züge nach Rostock durchgebunden" }, { "key": "line_max_speed", "label": "Maximum speed", "value": "bis zu 250 km/h (ICE 4)" }, { "key": "line_status", "label": "Status", "value": "In Betrieb" }, { "key": "line_operator", "label": "Operator", "value": "DB Fernverkehr AG" }, { "key": "line_owner", "label": "Owner", "value": "Deutsche Bahn AG (Betreiber: DB Fernverkehr AG)" }, { "key": "line_rolling_stock", "label": "Rolling stock", "value": "ICE 4" }, { "key": "line_headway", "label": "Headway", "value": "Stundentakt" } ], "mentionsTotal": 6 }
