I’m taking the 12am train from Hannover to Nuremberg on DB. Does anyone know how it works? I booked first class but can’t seem to find sleeper cabins available for purchase. Additionally, will someone wake me up for my stop or should I not go to sleep?

Thanks. Any idea how long I’ll have at the stop before it departs?

According to a typical schedule, for Oct 10, 2023, ICE 1689 arrives at Hannover Hbf at midnight (00:00) and departs at 00:03 - on platform 7.

I always take night trains traveling through Germany. No problem getting to Nuremberg at at 0445 hrs, never did that route but Hannover to Munich. Vendors start to open by 5 AM. Nuremberg has probably the best food court, next to that in Hannover.
Don't rely on anyone telling you when you need to get off. On the night trains I took , ie in the general seating area, at times, but not always, the DB staff person would come in to make the announcements at 5 AM. That was in the summer.
I always sleep anyway and would do so in your case, but you're on your own as to not missing your stop.

How were they supposed to make individual wake-up calls on a ordinary train with 600 passengers?
