Reliability data for German trains - Person Holding Black Tablet

I want to take the 'Kulturzug' between Berlin and Wroclaw on August 10th 2019 (dep. 08:25 from Berlin-Lichtenberg, arr. 12:42 in Wroclaw Glowny).

As I will be attending a wedding later that day, it would be good to know how reliable this train has been recently - are there often delays, and if so how long are they?

Is this information available for DB trains?

Are trains in Germany reliable?

German trains are clean, comfortable, reliable and fast. Between the downtown areas of most German cities the travel time by train is as fast or faster than the travel time by plane, when you calculate in the time it takes to get to and from the airport.

How reliable are trains?

Rail services are now at their least reliable for 17 years as weather problems, staff shortages and signal failures cause misery for passengers. Rail services across the country are the least reliable for 17 years, official figures reveal.

Does Germany have good transport?

Public Transport in Germany and Europe is usually excellent. It is very practical to live in any large German city or metropolitan area without owning a car. Even medium-sized cities have good public transportation networks that use buses, trams, and urban/suburban rail lines to move people around.

Why are German trains so late?

Construction work plays a big part, with much of the infrastructure in dire need of modernization. But according to internal reports, the delays are also down to serious congestion in the network, with too much traffic packed onto the railways, reports the Stuttgarter Zeitung.
