Arrive inKarlsruhe →- From the operator's published timetable, valid to 12 Dec 2026. The departure count is for one week of that timetable (the week it was read, early October 2026) and counts every direct departure from Frankfurt to Karlsruhe; it is not a daily figure.
- The stations shown are the pair used by the most departures; other stations in either place may also be served.
