That‘s cool! I had the issue come up multiple times. Once booking a DB -> ÖBB night train through DB, which they didn't "view" as one ticket although it was one purchase. Eventually (7 month after the trip) I got compensated for the DB ticket I had to buy, because I missed my night train. But there are also private night train providers like European Sleeper, where you can only book tickets through their website. I don't think that DB cares about them.
Was that trip before 2017? The agreement was created on that year an only includes the public companies: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agreement_on_Journey_Continuation So DB doesn't care about European Sleeper, because they're not part of the agreement.
It was last year… Probably the person at the counter of DB just didn't care. Thanks for the info!
When we missed our italian train, it was up to trenitalia to uphold the agreement.and move our ticket, not DB/ÖBB.
So I your case, ÖBB should have moved you to the next nighttrain (if it exists, I guess). We didn't apply for compensation, so idk who would have to pay for what in that case.
