Yep. With the Bahn.....just having a ticket means absolutely nothing. You need to have have a reservation with the ticket.
Up to six months before your trip, you can ask for a reservation....looking at the empty seats projected, and select where you want to sit.
Doing this all via an App? Yes, with the DB Navigator, which you can load to your tab or Smart-phone.
Cost? 4.50 Euro for one person, 2nd class. 5.90 Euro for one person, 1st class. Family rate? 9 Euro for second class.
Odds of failing to get the reservation and finding an empty seat? On weekends, between major cities (Hamburg to Frankfurt)....I'd say that you have only a 50-50 shot of finding a seat. Early morning or late evening trips would improve your odds.
So bottom line, if this is a two-hour ride.....go make the reservation and ensure you have a seat.
