Pretty sure if you take the train you can make that Germany crossing in 30 hours as well

I've actually tried that it took longer because every single train missed its connecting train.

That... Somehow doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Iirc many people were traveling to Sylt for fun when the 9€ ticket was still a thing

I mean, unless you work there, something is wrong if you're going to Sylt but not for fun.

Sounds like that's what OP did due to multiple trains missing their connections. If you take the ICE, then Munich to Hamburg would be a bit under 6 hours and you wouldn't have to change trains at any time.

Going border to border from Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Flensburg would increase that to ~11 hours due to the regional trains being slower and ~40 mins layovers each in Munich and Hamburg.

That's assuming that the ICE actually shows up that day.

Many people were travelling with regional trains because that were the only trains covered by the 9€ ticket. Going by ICE/IC it's much quicker.
