Yes and no. Yes there was a major workers' revolutions in the waning years of World War One (NOT post-WWI, which makes a difference), and one was successful, but it was not the same as what had happened in Russia for a few specific reasons (in Germany as a whole. The revolution in Bavaria was incredibly similar to the Russian's).

In September of 1918, one of the joint heads of the war effor Erich von Ludendorf requested that Germany make a truce and begin a shift to a parliamentary system. With the admission of defeat, and the fact that Wihelm II insisted on staying in the war, Germans (especially sailors and soldiers) were completely demoralized. Sailors in Wilhelmshaven along the Wadden Sea mutinied against a frivolous naval assault they deemed sure to fail on October 29, 1918. By November, the sailors in Kiel started rebelling as well, and (unknown to me, but claimed here by Reinhard Rurup ), "All home based soldiers joined the revolution. by November 7th, Munich was under revolutionary control, and Berlin fell on November 9th. The revolution was seen by much of Germany's military command as a backstabbing that sealed a defeat in a possibly-winnable war. That was really just an excuse made to salvage personal pride of those involved, but was used by von Ludendorf and Hitler to gain support for the NSDAP.

The revolution was a spontaneous and anonymous uprising, with no head instigator named, and no plan for governance afterward. To fill the void, the Workers' and Soldiers' Councils assumed temporary control. It was this (the refusal to hand power to the soviets/bolsheviks) that causes the outcome as it has and differs from the Russian Revolution. Members from the majority Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the Independent Social Democratic Party (USPD), fearing a communist grasp of power, formed the "Council of the People's Deputies" which they claimed to be more legitimate. The next day, the Workers' and Soldiers' Councils approved the change, and administration was left to the new council, while the Workers' and Soldiers' Councils retained control of the military (and did nothing with it). Still fearing the communists, but having a very strong popular base, almost all policy upcoming was based on compromise, and the main point being reallocation of control and power. A great example is of military officers and civil servants: most revolutionaries wanted all aristocrats and officers stripped of power and command, this being while troops were still on the front. They accepted the fact until armistice was reached, leadership was needed for the soldiers. Civil servants, most of whom supported the old regime, were asked to continue work for the survival of Germany, and nearly all did completely peacefully after seeing the officers retain power. The moderate/right SPD held enough influence to control all of Germany outside of Bavaria, and used the military and Free Corps to shut down any possible uprisings.

Bavaria was held by the USPD at the time, and the main government was calling for independence and workers' reforms, but still held a respect of property--a point where the ydiffered from the Russians. But the Soviet uprising in Hungary brought sympathy and support for soviets and communists. By April 12, 1919, communists (led by Eugen Leviné) overthrew the current government, and putting soviet reforms to work. The short-lived soviet state did not have the power to repel an invasion by the SPD Germany's Army and Free Corps, and after a bloody battle in Munich, the soviets were stripped of power, and Bavaria was brought back under German control.
