How far in advance do train tickets open for sale

I need to book a train on December 24th from Nuremberg to Frankfurt airport. Normally, I would just wait, but since it's the holiday season and Nuremberg is a big Christmas Market, I wanted to book early. Does anyone know when that date will open up for sale?
Thanks,
Lori

Why don't you just try the DB website. As of today you can only book as advanced as 9.12.2017.

Yes, I did that. That;s why I'm asking how far in advance they go on sale. If someone knows, I will mark my calendar rather than checking every day.

It's only six months if that time is within the calendar of dates already loaded. For instance the farthest ahead you can book today on the Bahn website is December 9, 2017, which is just over 5 months out. The schedule for December 10 to early June, 2018, will probably go up around October 15 to November 1, as I remember (it's changed over the years). As soon as, but not before, the next 6 month's schedule is posted, you will be able to book for Dec 24.
