Why Claims from Munich Hauptbahnhof Succeed
The causes of delays here are well-documented — and none of them are your fault:
- ›Munich S-Bahn trunk line failures
- ›ICE connections from north
- ›Construction on main lines
These causes don't let the operator off the hook. Congestion and infrastructure issues are the operator's responsibility — not force majeure. That's why claims from this station hold up, even when operators push back.

Your Questions, Straight Answers
My train arrived late at Munich Hauptbahnhof. Am I owed compensation?
Over 34% of trains arriving at Munich Hbf are delayed. If you arrived 60+ minutes after your scheduled time, you're entitled to 25% of your ticket. 120+ minutes? 50%. That applies to ICE, IC, EC, and Nightjet services.
How much am I owed for a delay at Munich?
60–119 minutes late: 25% of what you actually paid. 120+ minutes: 50%. On a EUR 249 Berlin–Munich flexible ticket, that's up to EUR 124.50.
DB says the delay was caused by a train arriving late from Berlin or Hamburg. Can they use that?
No. Knock-on delays through the DB network are the operator's problem — that's exactly what they're being paid to manage. We challenge these rejections.
I was on a Nightjet overnight train and it arrived late. Can I claim?
Yes. Nightjet is covered by EU Regulation 2021/782. If your overnight service arrived at Munich 60+ minutes late, you can claim — including any supplement you paid for a sleeper or couchette.
How long do I have to file a claim?
90 days from the date of travel. After that, records are gone. Don't leave it — check now.
