Yes you can - as already mentioned this will only work with the german railway connection. For example book QKL-FRA for ~60€ and this will give you 950miles - same connection booked in Business Class will cost ~ 90€ and will earn 1500miles on A3.
Checking in and not boarding on a real flight will cause a cancellation and you would earn no miles
