There currently are a variety of options to travel by night train from Hamburg (Germany) to Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany), taking between approximately 8 and 10 hours: Namely the 92606, the NJ 471 and the IC 60471. These lines are operated by BTE Autoreisezug, ÖBB and DB.

The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) operate the Nightjet and Euronight trains (the latter together with other national railway agencies).
The ÖBB usually offer three types of carriages in their night trains: seats, couchettes, and sleepers.
Seats are for the bravest, while couchettes and sleepers provide a more comfortable journey. In the couchettes, you can find simple and rather narrow berths, while the sleepers are equipped with proper beds and sometimes even a private bathroom. Couchettes accommodate up to six people, while sleepers are private compartments for one to three people.
They may include a private bathroom or shower, or sometimes just a sink.
Deutsche Bahn (DB) exited the actual night train business in 2016. However, it operates around a dozen Intercity and Eurocity trains that run exclusively at night.
These trains only have first and second class seats. The cars remain lit throughout the night and the seats cannot be reclined.
