Good day everyone,
I checked my seat reservation from Munich to Berlin on the 31st of October and saw that there has been a timetable change. Upon clicking on the alternative options, the fastest direct route is now 6 hours. Did I miss something?
A couple of questions…
Thank you!

The route north of Nuremberg is closed for works. As said, timetable changes are very likely the earlier you book. Have a look at https://www.bahn.de/service/fahrplaene/baustellen/nuernberg-erfurt
Since there will be less trains running, please book a new reservation or you're likely to stand.
Hello
You should take other trains but your reservation is no more valid if the original train in cancelled. I suggest to buy a new one, you can obtain a refund of the old one by the vendor.
Such timetable changes are very common in Germany and you have no other choice to find alternatives.
I forgot something. You could perhaps obtain a compensation if you arrive with a delay of 60 minutes or more in Berlin.

Greetings. Thank you for your response. I just want to know if I will be penalised if I don’t turn up to the given alternative route if I make a new booking? I also saw on the Dbahn website that “The adjusted timetables are currently not yet fully available in the information and booking systems.”
Should I wait a couple of more days?
Thank you!
Which exact train have you booked? Does that train still exist? Reservations normally remain valid as long as the train number stays the same.
With an Eurail Pass you can take every long-distance train of the Deutsche Bahn in Germany and reservations are not mandatory. You cannot be penalized. The only risk, as indicated earlier, is to don’t find a free seat if you don’t have a reservation. Delays are unfortunately very frequent and you should be aware that last minute changes are always possible.
