You are not paying for the seat, but for the journey. Go ahead and try to get a refund when you don't have a seat on a crowded train.

  While that is true (if you don't have a seat reservation) you are prohibited from occupying more than one seat per DB ToS. "Each passenger is only allowed to occupy one seat [...] Passengers who behave contrary to the above regulations, ignore the instructions of employees or otherwise pose a threat to safety and order can be excluded from transport or further transport without entitlement to reimbursement of the fare and baggage price."

    Is he really occupying more than one seat if there’s nobody else there to take the remainder?

      Literally yes he is. You can argue about whether this should be enforced, but by the text of the contract, it is not allowed.

        Fair use IMHO IANAL

          You can use as many as you like until instructed not to.

            If you weren’t meant to do it they’d have countermeasures to prevent you

      Does a falling tree in a forest make a sound if there's no one around to hear it.
