===Long-distance trains===
*'''ICE''' (''[[Intercity-Express]]'') for high-speed long-distance train services between major cities and regions. Certain routes also cross European borders into the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland and Austria.
*'''EC''' ([[EuroCity]]) for intercity trains that cross borders, and connect Germany with other countries. Can also be operated by foreign state railways.
*'''IC''' (''[[Intercity (Deutsche Bahn)|InterCity]]'') for long-distance [[Higher-speed rail|semi-high-speed]] services that connect regions and cities. IC services are slightly lower in class than ICE services, with trains reaching lower speeds (average around 160 – 220&nbsp;km/h) and with more frequent stops. On some IC routes the trains use legacy railway lines instead of the high-speed lines the ICE takes. International IC services are usually operated as ''EuroCity''.

Just as ICE, EC and (few) IC cross European borders, train categories of other operators cross into Germany and are operated in cooperation with Deutsche Bahn:
*'''[[EuroCity#EuroCity-Express|ECE]]''' for international high-speed rail services in cooperation with [[Swiss Federal Railways|SBB]]. Currently two routes ([[Frankfurt am Main|Frankfurt]]-[[Milan]] and [[Munich]]-[[Zurich]]).
*'''[[TGV]]''' in cooperation with [[SNCF]] from France to Frankfurt and Munich via Stuttgart.
*'''[[Railjet]]''' from Austria to Munich and Frankfurt in cooperation with [[Austrian Federal Railways|ÖBB]] and from Prague to Berlin in cooperation with [[České dráhy|ČD]].
