The journey is about 12 hours each way in total.
I have never tipped a conductor in Germany (or anywhere in Western Europe, for that matter). I have tipped stewards in the restaurant/lounge cars (round up to next Euro + 1 or 2 Euros, depending on size of bill), but only for table service, never at the bar.
