Nowadays, we tend to print them ourselves (www.bahn.de supplies them  
as PDF), this is confusingly called "online-ticket" at Deutsche Bahn.
You need to supply the last four digits of the number of a credit card  
(or other semi-official type card) that you will carry to validate the  
self-printed ticket.

And, yes, you want to spend as much of the train time as possible in  
an ICE (accept no substitutes, although THA might almost qualify).
