Really puts it into perspective, we here in Germany complained (online) like hell when the price was raised from 58€ to 63€ this year and tied to inflation, yet it seems to be a rather standard fare. Train service notwithstanding, I do think Germany's rail network might be worth 3€ more to a passenger than Spain's.
It's a good price, but should be lowered over time. Drop it below inflation to push people into transit over driving. That said, the pillars of German economic thinking still revolve.around car manufacturing, so it's a tough sell.
May we should make it cost an inverse amount to how badly DB does every year? I don't know, but 63€ isn't killer, but we have five people to pay for and kindergeld isn't going up as fast as the D-ticket is. Nor is my raise, of course.
It would be worth more if IT WERENT DB!!
