Some 2,000 employees took part in the action, which left around 17 million letters and parcels unhandled and would lead to delays in delivery in the three regions, Ver.di said.
The union threatened to extend the rolling strike action to other areas during the course of the day.
In the current wage dispute, Ver.di is calling for wage increases of 6.5 percent for around 160,000 of Deutsche Post’s 240,000-strong workforce.
