Of course, it does not make sense to dereference such an iterator.
That's the reason why I wanted to catch this operation, and do something else instead. In my case, aborting the program is absolutely not necessary as I would have a workaround.

But, if I understand you, there is no way for me to catch the exception from my question, right?

You can call
  deal_II_exceptions::disable_abort_on_exception();
which converts the call to abort() to raising an actual exception.

But I do want to ask what you plan to do if you derefernce an end-iterator. That should simply never happen -- it's a bug in the program to do this, comparable to a segmentation fault when dereferencing a NULL pointer. The right approach is to ensure that that doesn't happen, not to come up with a backup plan to do something else if it does happen.

Best
