Post Office at FRA?
 

Would anyone be able to tell me if there is a post office/DHL at Frankfurt Airport?

There definitely is at least one Post Office and there are DHL drop boxes

Here is a link to more details - although it is in German you could open it ina Chrome browser to get an automatic translation.

Many thanks to puchong for the link.

In case the information in the link is confusing (it's a third party site not connected to Deutsche Post): the Post office is inside the "Press & Books" newsagents, Terminal 1, Level 0, near the regional train station. The opening hours for the Post office operations (9 am - 5 pm) are more restrictive than the general opening hours of the shop.

There are plenty of letter boxes thoughout the airport, but no Packstation (DHL parcel lockers) in the terminal itself. You'd have to go to Gateway Gardens or the International Mail Sorting Office (officially "Frankfurt Airport Building 190" - between Terminals 1 and 2) for that.

Many thanks, tom tulpe.

https://www.frankfurt-airport.com/de...and-books.html - This store servers as the post office at Terminal 1. German postal services does outsource a lot of their offices to existing shops. So it is absolutely normal that.

Thank you flyingfkb. We very much treasure the advice and information offered by the many readers on Flyertalk.

They used to have a real post office on the departure level (outside security) of T1. I once bought a box and mailed a gift acquired for a friend in India mid-trip from there.

Yes, I do remember. I think it was in hall B just before you entered the secure area. But with all the cost cutting measures since the privatization of the German postal service a lot of offices were closed and replaced by a kind of "franchise" model.

Hi, can I send the paper ticket I bought online to the airport post office FRA Germany and collect it from the airport post office FRA ?

Maybe…

You can have letters sent to select post offices (ausgewählte Filialen) for pickup. Not sure if there is an easy way to find out if the one discussed earlier in this thread is one of those select ones.

It’s 2024 - no way to get an e-ticket? I haven’t seen a paper ticket in decades.

There is no regular post office left in FRA, its just a stationary/papers/book shop. They don't have the poste restante service:


The post office (now Postbank) in Neu Isenburg

Postbank Filiale 521
Carl-Ulrich-Str. 2-6
63263 Neu-Isenburg


has this service:

As does the one in Kelsterbach:

Postfiliale 542
Schreibwaren Koc
Waldstr. 10
65451 Kelsterbach

The place in Kelsterbach has the massive advantage that it's right next to the train station on the S-Bahn line from Frankfurt (first stop after the Airport on S8 or S9 trains called "Wiesbaden" or "Mainz"). Neu-Iseburg is more of a faff to get to, certainly w/o a car.

Important: You need to use the street address of the post office and the words "poste restante" or "postlagernd". And it's registered mail, you need to use the real name of the recipient, as this will be checked against ID. Ordinary mail can be sent under an assumed name (!), as in:

Enkhamga
poste restante / Postlagernd
Waldstr. 10
65451 Kelsterbach

Are there any airside mailboxes in Terminal 1?

According to the map (https://map.frankfurt-airport.com/) there is one airside at Terminal B (but not sure).

If you select Services on the airport map linked above and then from the "Unterkategorie" --> "Post & Reinigung" ("post & dry cleaning") and you see all mailboxes. It seems the one "Terminal 1 Ebene 2 Bereich B" is airside.

But I might be wrong ....
