I fear that the general public in Germany will not be praising this achievement. The once efficient and punctional trains in Germany have deteriorated severely in the past years due to lots of delayed maintenance causing lots of delays and even regular cancelations of trains. Also the road infrastructure is suffering from delayed maintenance.

Exactly this. The only people who will care are hardcore train people, and even then everyone is so crushingly disappointed with DB I doubt they mind much. I mean even at 405 km/h the train will STILL be an hour late.
