The industrial action was held on Wednesday in response to a call by the trade union, Verdi, which said it created a significant disruption to letter and parcel deliveries.
Verdi wants mail deliverers’ standard working hours to be slashed from 38.5 to 36 hours weekly, while their pay remains unchanged in a move that effectively increases hourly rates.
The demand comes as Germany’s national mail company, Deutsche Post, has delegated some parcel deliveries to a subsidiary which pays lower hourly rates to its staff.
It is not the first time that Germany has been hit with strikes in recent months.
