BW, but I've traveled Berlin to Munich to Stuttgart with stops in between via regional rail with a D-ticket. So I'm most unfamiliar with the Northwestern parts of the country.

Trains were mostly on time, if late they seemed to average 10 minutes late, and a few times there were some very late trains. But between the major hubs it was usually possible to just take a different train. I feel like people don't give Germany enough credit for the sheer number of trains it has. You're running trains on lines every hour that other European countries would only have a train every 2 or 3 hours.

Although I'll admit the first place I lived was a small village and my daily commute relied on one train that was nearly 15 minutes late every day. I learned to adjust for it.

No train delay has ever compared to getting stuck in Atlanta traffic for 4 hours. It should on average take 1 hour to drive through Atlanta. I've yet to have a train delayed by 3 hrs
