From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ICE (InterCityExpress), is a category of high speed trains, which are operated by the Deutsche Bahn (in English: German Rail) since 1991.
The trains have an operating speed of up to 300 km/h. They are one of fastest trains in the world. Some of the high-speed lines in Germany are:
- Cologne to Frankfurt am Main (up to 300 km/h)
- Nuremberg over Ingolstadt to Munich (up to 300 km/h)
- Hanover over Kassel to Würzburg (up to 250 km/h)

- Hamburg to Berlin (up to 230 km/h)
There are other (upgraded) lines where the trains can reach 200 km/h. Some new high-speed lines are under construction, some are in planning.
