Argh, I’ve been trying to research public transportation options to visit Lubeck and the Christmas markets from Hamburg December 6 and can only find a single FlixBus option. Can that be true? What’s happened to trains or other regional buses? Anyone have information?

There are about 47 daily trains running from Hamburg Hbf to Lubeck Hbf. Look at www.bahn.de for schedules and fares—they are all there.

Thank you, I was looking at rome2rio and Omio which I have found to accurate in the past. bahne.de is where I should have started.
As I will be traveling on to Berlin and Dresden, do you think a monthly pass would be a good idea?

Local trains every 30 minutes. If 2 to 5 people, a Kleingruppenkarte is 44.90 EUR covers you all day

Do the math. With a monthly pass, assume you are referring to the Deutchland Ticket, You will be restricted to local trains. Since the current express route from Lubeck to Berlin is closed, that really does not effect that leg. It will make the Berlin to Dresden leg longer with more train changes

There are high-speed train tix for December now on sale for €35 from Lubeck to Berlin ( 3:45) and from Berlin to Dresden (2 hrs.) for €18.
Hamburg to Lubeck is about €10.
So, no need to mess with the Deutschland Ticket.
(Prague is only 2:15 beyond Dresden).
Buy your tix as soon as you have your itinerary nailed down.
Cheers!
