Oberlausitz Easter bunny post office is open

Mail from all over the world

Each year, between 2,000 and 3,000 letters are sent to the Easter Bunny Post Office, which was launched in 2005. The idea came from a student at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences. As part of her bachelor's thesis in 2004, she developed a concept to make the region more attractive for children and youth tourism.

Osterhasenpostamt is now known far beyond Upper Lusatia. The mailings come not only from Germany, but also from far-flung countries such as the Philippines, Japan and the USA, according to the press release. Examples of past Easter mail are on display in the "Easter Bunny Construction" at the Seifhennersdorf Children's and Youth Recreation Center.
