The strike was triggered by low income where unions requested increases in wages to help their members amid the rising cost of living across the country.
Local transport services, such as trams and buses, won't be operating on Monday in seven states.
Nevertheless, commuter and regional trains operated by Deutsche Bahn, which is Germany's national rail operator, were also affected.
