    <body>## Overview&#xA;&#xA;ICE 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.&#xA;&#xA;## Operator&#xA;&#xA;The operator is [[organization_db_fernverkehr|DB Fernverkehr (DB Long-Distance Transport)]].&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;## History&#xA;&#xA;Line 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.&#xA;## Major stations&#xA;&#xA;The line serves, among others, the following stations:&#xA;&#xA;- Essen Hbf&#xA;- Duisburg Hbf&#xA;- Düsseldorf Hbf&#xA;- Köln Hbf&#xA;- Siegburg/Bonn&#xA;- Frankfurt (M) Flughafen Fernbahnhof&#xA;- Frankfurt (Main) Hbf&#xA;- Aschaffenburg Hbf&#xA;- Würzburg Hbf&#xA;- Nürnberg Hbf&#xA;- Ingolstadt Hbf&#xA;- München Hbf&#xA;&#xA;## Further information&#xA;&#xA;line_frequency: hourly</body>
