If I were to buy a ticket for Berlin at 11pm with the arrival at 6am the day after, would it count as 1 day or 2 days of travel?
Answer
Day trip duration - starting one day and arriving the next - is it 1 or 2 travel days?

Every day (00.00-23.59 CE(S)T) when you board a train, no matter when you leave the train, is a travel day, so if you travel over midnight, but don't board a new train that day, then it's 1 travel day.

The only trains I can think of that follow such a schedule are internal DB=Germany ICE trains (=normal daytime trains, seats only, the bistro will be closed nighttime) from either around FRAnkfurt or Rhein/Ruhr=KÖln. REServ on these trains is optional, probably advisable for peace of mind, and is for 4,50 easy to do via bahn.com - seat only - IF you are in DE=Germany, like I am now, then you can even do it on the ticket machines (no crd cd needed then).
I´ve used such trains several times on a pass and never had probs with the checks the next day.
