You won't save any money by booking online, but it will save you the time and bother of buying tickets at Munchen Hbf.

Though if you are happy to depart from Munich after 09:00 there is a money saving option for this trip, particularly if you will be travelling in a group.
Book a regional day ticket for Bavaria and it will be cheaper than a journey ticket; children travel for free and any additional adults in the party will only pay €6!

DB Bahn Guide

DB is the national railway operator in Germany, so its website can be used for booking journeys by German express trains; the ICE and IC trains and it doesn't charge booking fees.
It also sells tickets for journeys by direct trains on all international routes from Germany regardless of whether DB is operating the train service.

It also sells an extensive range of end-to-end journeys which involve making connections both within Germany and in neighboring countries, but journeys between Germany and Britain cannot be booked on DB.

A key feature of DB website worth keeping mind is that it offers 1st class ticket purchasers complimentary seat reservations on journeys both within and to/from Germany.
