    Germany has ruined the railways through austerity. Thanks, Ministry of Transport.

      I thought the blame was on DB, a private company, for taking the profits without any investment on the infrastructure (I just realize, the infra is state/ public?).

        The DB is special, it is a state-owned company that is run as a stock corporation. Germany wanted to privatize the Deutsche Bahn in the late 90s, but then called it off in the middle of the conversion process.
