Yup, the Nightjet from Munich to Florence stopped for a while in Austria when we were travelling a few years ago.

That's probably because they split the train and/or attach another half train from another departure.
From my experience my Nightjet left Düsseldorf to Salzburg or Vienna. It split in Nurnberg and merge with the train from Berlin (which also had 2 destinations).

IME they also let it sit around for a while. We were stationary for more than an hour. Sadly still not long enough to make my 05:30AM arrival time bearable for a night owl like me.
Edit: There is also a system called "Through coach" or Kurswagen in German, where you enter a coach in the evening, it starts as part of one train, and then, during the night, the train stops and it becomes part of another train - possibly with another change, and in the morning it arrives at your booked destination. (Of course you check the number of the coach well before you enter it, heh.)
