'Group' bookings on German Railways ?

[zag]

Bit of a specialist topic, I guess, but does anyone know how you book tickets and reserve seats for 6 people on the DB website - http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de ? It looks like you can only book/reserve for 5 people - the website just doesn't seem to do numbers above 5. I have had a German friend go through the website in German, but he can't find a reference to how to do it either . . .

I know I could book the tickets in 2 bookings, but I can't run the risk of watching (from the platform) one half of the group on the train as it pulls off from our destination. It would be a lot easier if we all sat together . . .

Any ideas ?

Hi zag,
had a quick look at the website (auf Deutsch).
I'm not sure that particular piece of information is of any relevance for the booking process. Can you specify the number of travellers when purchasing the online ticket (this requires a login, so I haven't taken it that far)?

Is there a phone number?
I would suggest you call their reservations line. It is probably just some sort of restriction on the website.

I believe you can book this through Iaranroid Eireann if the website is proving too difficult. They have a booking office in Abbey Street Dublin where they can accept bookings (including phone bookings) for other European railways.
