Deutsche Post (brand)
# Deutsche Post (brand)

Deutsche Post is a brand of DHL Group used for its domestic mail services in Germany. The services offered under the brand are those of a traditional mail service, making the brand the successor of the former state-owned mail monopoly, Deutsche Bundespost. As of 2008, the monopoly for Deutsche Post on these services has expired.

Most businesses unrelated to traditional mail services have been switched over to the DHL brand acquired with the original DHL company, hence why the group uses the DHL Group name.
