The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.
Easy to get wrong
ICE line 41 (Cologne/Bonn Airport – Montabaur – Frankfurt Airport – Frankfurt Hbf – Würzburg – Nuremberg – Munich) calls at both airports directly on the same train — there is no need to route via Cologne Hbf or Frankfurt Hbf to get from one airport to the other.

Easy to get wrong
Four separate ICE lines are documented as serving Cologne/Bonn Airport directly (10, 41, 45 and 49), each running a different onward direction — checking only one line's timetable can wrongly suggest there is no direct train to a given city.
