Post offices in Germany are mostly inside shops
Deutsche Post, part of DHL Group, runs very few branches of its own. Most “Postfilialen” are partner counters in kiosks, stationers and supermarkets, where you can buy stamps, post letters and send DHL parcels.
Packstations — DHL’s yellow lockers — are open around the clock. You need the DHL app (and a free DHL account) to collect parcels from them, and you can also drop off prepaid parcels there.
Other carriers
Hermes, DPD, GLS and UPS each run their own network of parcel shops, again mostly inside local businesses. If a parcel could not be delivered, the card in your letterbox names the shop or locker.
Postcodes
German postcodes (PLZ) have five digits, e.g. 10115 for central Berlin. Large cities have a different code for nearly every district.
