Sadly I am yet to know a company that actually gets Bahncard for their employees. I have known a couple that expect people to use Bahncards. though.

No way. Eurowings is more expensive and Ryanair does not fly that route.
> yet to know a company that actually gets Bahncard
That's an easy calculation. It's cheaper once there is a certain amount of travels. But the travel usually has do be on company purpose. Companies then order 'Business Bahncard's for employees, which allows relatively flexible travel.
The calculation might be easier, but I am yet to know a company that actually offers them to the employees.
While I have been at several companies that require the employees to own such cards, buy the tickets themselves and submit the travel expenses later. So most people end up owning a 25 or 50 one.
As for the flights, those are the prices we pay on average on our weekly flights between our sites and customer locations across Germany. I did not check specifically for Hamburg -> Munich.
You'll find that in a bunch of companies. The company I worked for has occasionally even paid Bahncard 100 for some employees. All it took to get any Bahncard for employees was to provide a calculation that it was cheaper than the other options.
If people submit travel expenses, they might also be able to submit the expense for a bahncard.
Any capable controlling department will easily detect that a substantial amount of money can be saved. For a company with 200 employees and 50% of them traveling this might be a six digit figure.
Most people that work for us actually prefer train over flight for anything that’s within germany. Travel sometimes takes slightly longer, but is substantially more relaxed and you can actually make something in that time.
As for the bahncard, nice to know about. As mentioned, so far I know the variant on employee expenses.
