> German trains stop at the first Swiss station, when they finally arrive, and people gave to switch trains.

It's not just German trains. The Swiss are rather strict about train punctuality (more than 2 min is not accepted if memory serves), and if an international train would cause delays, the Swiss put on their own train on regular schedule and halt the tardy train at the border.




You are almost correct, according to SBB [0], train is considered to be on-time if the delay is less than 3 minutes.
