Compartments usually seat 6 (though DB ICE trains often have a family compartment that seats 5, with a little toy cubby that you can use to store a buggy). Six seats, three on each side. That means someone needs to sit in the middle, and unless you're traveling in a group, it's 5 other strangers. Personally, I prefer rows of 1 and 2 like normal 1st class, so nobody has to sit in the middle.
