The 9 euro ticket only worked for regional trains. With the ICE, the high-speed intercity trains, that would have taken 2 hours and 6 minutes if you leave right when I write this comment
EDIT: cost is important of course: DB says that would cost about 80 euros, which is a crime IMO. [0]
Taking the car would take about half an hour longer and currently cost about 44 euro in fuel [1]

- bakuninsbart 4y agoDB is very expensive when travelling spontaneously and really cheap if planning well ahead. I regularly go from Berlin to Frankfurt for 20 Euros, which is around 500km. Often times, they offer me first class upgrades for 10 Euros, too.
- ragebol 4y agoHuh, did not know that. How well ahead is well ahead?
- bakuninsbart 4y agoAt least 2 months in advance. If it is later, the first or last connection is often times really cheap still, too.
