One 20 kg bag and one handbag are no problem.
- Deutsche Bahn allows one larger item of luggage (box, etc.) per person in addition to briefcases, suitcases, etc. The limit is that one person must be able to carry it into the train and through the aisles.
- It may not be possible to stow this near the seat. There is an exclusion of liability for theft if the passenger lets the luggage out of his sight.
- Wheelchairs and strollers are free, bicycles require an extra fee and possibly a reservation.
There is a confusing array of fare schemes. It is cheaper to book one specific train. It is cheaper to book well in advance. It is more expensive to buy a ticket which allows you to take any train between the two stations.
- Connections around 6 hours (ICE) are €153 without a specific train. There is more than one per hour.
- Connections around 7 hours (ICE+RE) are €131 without a specific train.
- Connections over 7 hours (IC+RE, possibly EC) are €121 without a specific train.
- Connections over 8 hours (IC+EC+RE) are €29 if you book a specific departure time now.
- Connections around 10 hours (RE) are €101.
For €153, you can arrive at the station whenever you like and take the next train to Munich, including the fastest ones. For €29, you have one specific connection, and it takes two to three hours longer.
The Bahn website assumes that customers want the faster connections. To get connections without ICE, go to Further Options on their search form, then More means of transport, then uncheck the ICE box. To get connections with RE only, check the only local transport checkbox.

The website of Deutsche Bahn requires you to select a time of departure (of arrival) and then shows you the ticket prices for the connections around this departure time. If you have a look at your screenshot, you will see that your connections start quite early, which normally leads to lower prices.
However, the Deutsche Bahn website also has a page on which you can compare the prices for a whole day (called the "Sparpreisfinder"). This page will only find non-flexible tickets, which are normally cheaper. Also, it will only find connections that include at least one long-distance train, which is however reasonable to get from Aachen to Munich. Uncheck the "Prefer fast connections" option to find some more options.
