Deutsche Bahn workers are going on strike tomorrow affecting most of Germany. The GDL (Train Engineers Union) has announced strikes beginning Monday. This will affect Deutsche Bahn services (ICE, IC, RE, RB, S-Bahn).
In the event of strikes, DB will operate under temporary schedules. You should be able to take IC/ICE trains even with a local ticket if your travel is disrupted by the strike.
The long-distance schedule is here:

The NRW temporary schedules of RB, RE, and S-Bahn service are here: http://www.bahn.de/blitz/view/nrw/uebersicht.shtml
Thankfully I dont use DB trains so it wont affect me, but will affect many others.
