Yep, 150km/h on average is not that great. Especially considering the average in the part of the route in France (tbf, without a stop) is around 280km/h. Leaving an average of 130km/h through Germany.
But still nice that there are long-distance direct connections, as changing can be a major pain, especially with DB...
Changing trains is by far one of the biggest problems with the DB. I'm fine with arriving later, but if I am unlucky and miss the last train and have to wait till like 4am to get the next one I'm absolutely pissed.
Also going via Strasbourg is a massive detour. The direct connection would go through the northern bits of Luxembourg. However there is no track in the region allowing speeds above 130km/h in any of the four countries in that region.
