That pass doesn't cover trains you actually want to take between regions. It's basically a subway pass equivalent.

Source: I still pay €25 to go to the nearest city because it's a 1+ hour train ride and going local station to local station sucks. Yes I have been busted by the Deutche Bahn employee checking Tickets and thought the country wide pass worked.

Ulm- München is abou 120km and it takes to 2:00 by regional train. Berlin - Magdeburg is also similar and at about 1:45. Both can be used using that pass.

Aalen to Stuttgart can't. Stuttgart to München Can't.

"using that pass" means not taking the direct train line. And stopping locally.

Don't ask me, ask a DB employee telling me that pass isn't valid for those connections.

Edit: here's the carve out

Please note, however, that the Deutschland-Ticket is not valid on trains operated by DB Fernverkehr AG or other long-distance providers such as FlixTrain (e.g. IC, EC, ICE, as well as RE operated by DB Fernverkehr AG). DB Fernverkehr is currently in talks with the German state governments and authorities about exceptions on certain sections of line.

The Deutschland-Ticket is currently also permitted for long-distance trains (IC, EC, ICE) between Rostock Hbf and Stralsund Hbf.
