The train controller knew about the Nightjet situation and gave us no flack. The next hour or so were spent on trying to see what connections to take. The controllers suggestion was to exit at Mannheim Hbf and board the train ICE 202 to Köln but that had a 7 minute transfer time which it was already getting late, We were unsure why would we take it anyways since the 692 goes to Köln anyways. ⬇️

During the ride we found out that the Nightjet delay was caused due to a knife fight on the tracks, so the train stayed at Ausburg and went back to Münich at some point so we were stationary for 6 hours. Well, herd instincts kicked in and since most went at catching the transfer we followed too and made it to Köln anyways. At Köln we went to the DB travel helpdesk to get some sort of replacement for the tickets so the controller on the last train to Brussels would not charge us for a new ticket.
