On my vacation in Germany we were not once asked on the train for our passports. We are white. The police would demand every non-white persons' "visa" and most of the time the questioned individual would produce a German ID or an ID from another EU member state.

It was a sad sight.

    Couple of years ago only they would just check everyone's id in a rather respectful way. Might depend on the border being crossed?

    We took the trains from Germany to the Czech Republic and back. Then from Germany to Austria and back. Finally we went to France.

    I recall some checks on regional trains as well, including in Bavaria and I want to say around Berlin but I can't remember where exactly.

    Not once were we asked though, all checks were selective and clearly biased
