Hallo Leute!
Malaysian tourist planning a travel to Germany in December (16th-21st) here.
I've heard that buying your train tickets in advance cuts your cost. I tried doing so these days, but I was met with this message (screenshot attached).
How far in advance can one buy tickets? And how will one know when the date is within the train's "timetable period"?
Thank you in advance!

There is a timetable shift on December 15th, you can buy tickets for then starting October 16th.
Currently you can book tickets until the 14th December.
The winter timetables and bookings will be available from 16th October.
As far as I know there will be an updated time table released next week (16th of October according to this site https://bahngebote.de/buchungsstart-neuer-fahrplan/) that will include the days from15th of December onwards.
Join the club, we are also waiting for next week’s release of the new timetables to book our vacation.
I will never be ceased to be embarrassed by DB’s copywriters. I am certain this error message was written by an engineer.
