The secret is to order your ticket ahead of the travel and not to go for flex tickets, that way it's possible to get a massive discount and even travel first class ICE very affordably. For example, Nürnberg - Berlin can cost up to 127€ for second class ticket, if you buy the ticket the same day you need it. Buy the ticket, for the same connection, 2 weeks in advance, and suddenly its only 39,90€ for second class and 53,90€ for first class.
