    "body": "## Overview\n\nICE line 41 connects the Ruhr area hourly with Bavaria. It runs from Essen via Duisburg, Düsseldorf and Cologne, then via the Cologne–Rhine/Main high-speed line to Frankfurt am Main and via Würzburg and Nuremberg to Munich; individual trains begin or end in Dortmund. Trains of the ICE 3 series and the ICE 3 Velaro D (Class 406) are used. In Frankfurt the line calls only at the airport long-distance station and the main station.\n\n## Operator\n\nThe operator is [[organization_db_fernverkehr|DB Fernverkehr (DB Long-Distance Transport)]].\n\n\n## History\n\nLine 41 originally ran from Essen via Frankfurt South station to Nuremberg. With the commissioning of the Nuremberg–Ingolstadt high-speed line (2006) it was extended to Munich via the new-build high-speed line. Between Hanau and Frankfurt it operates on the densest ICE interval in Germany.\n## Major stations\n\nThe line serves, among others, the following stations:\n\n- Essen Hbf\n- Duisburg Hbf\n- Düsseldorf Hbf\n- Köln Hbf\n- Siegburg/Bonn\n- Frankfurt (M) Flughafen Fernbahnhof\n- Frankfurt (Main) Hbf\n- Aschaffenburg Hbf\n- Würzburg Hbf\n- Nürnberg Hbf\n- Ingolstadt Hbf\n- München Hbf\n\n## Further information\n\nline_frequency: hourly",
