How can remove unnecessary connections using bahn.de?

You could also try the following:
When you start the search, on the page there is a ticked box "Show fastest connections".
If you clear this box, all possible connections are shown, even if they take more time.

Sabine’s answer is clever and seems to solve your problem, but, in general, if you’re trying to book a train ticket and the website simply isn’t doing what you want, you can also try calling Deutsche Bahn (or stopping by a train station if you are currently in Germany) and speaking to a human being who can help you.

I didn’t find a way to tell DB to book a certain train. However, I found a solution to your specific journey, because it is indeed possible to select / deselect certain train types only for parts of the journey.

  1. After entering your origin, destination and date, select "Further options" next to the Search-Button.
  2. Open the "stopover" section, enter Frankfurt as Via 1. You don’t have to specify a stopover duration.
  3. Open the "Types of Transport" section. This will now give you the option to deselect ICE trains only for the Frankfurt-Berlin section of your journey.

The DB website does offer the connection you’re looking for, both in my general experience and for the specific journey Paris→Berlin leaving next Monday evening. More precisely, when I ask to leave after 19:00, the four proposals on the first batch of results are:

  1. From Paris, ICE 9557 to Mannheim, NJ 409 to Leipzig, IC 94 to Berlin.
  2. Actually the same trains, but with the Mannheim–Leipzig train given as IC 60409.
  3. From Paris, ICE 9557 to Mannheim, NJ 409 to Berlin.
  4. From Paris, TGV 2465 to Strasbourg, local train to Offenburg, IC 60470 to Heidelberg, ICE 698 to Berlin.

If you really want to change in Frankfurt rather than Heidelberg, you can request a stopover there (click “Further options” to make the stopover field appear). But that gives you less uninterrupted time in the night train so I think you’d prefer to change in Mannheim.

This is generally the case in my experience with journeys involving a night train: DB offers both the “sensible” connection with no or few changes as well as faster connections that have you start later on a high-speed train and catch up with the night train, or go ahead of the night train at the end of the journey.
