To your last point, DB AG is not semi-privatised, the shares are owned 100% by the Federal Republic. See, for example, this link to the DB's websiteNorthern is only a very small part of Arriva's operations!
DB has little say over Arriva, as the day to day operations are run from Sunderland not Berlin!
DB has big problems of it's own, before it starts micromanaging Arriva.
Given that DB is semi privatised, I'm not sure how much control the German government has over it!
