if you want to look up historic delay data (to make better guesses) you can use zugspaet: https://zugspaet.de/
I was considering trains for a Berlin-Frankfurt trip, and after looking at the performance of the preferred train, I'm not sure I want to still go that way: 25% cancellations :/
If your train is cancelled, you can take the next train or a different train, without buying a new ticket. The app will tell you this.
So 3h of sitting on the floor because there's no seat after a canceled one?
I mean yes, better than no transport, but it's ridiculous. And if you have an appointment in the morning, 2h of delay are a deal breaker.
