We say "halb fünf" (half five) for both 04:30h and 16:30h.
In verbal communication we use a 12 hour clock, and only specify am / pm if it's necessary -
by saying "halb fünf nachmittags" (half five afternoons), in written communication you can do either that, or use the 24h clock, as in 16:30h (there's no equivalent to "04:30pm" in other words).

When it’s 04:30 of 16:30 though right?
Or were my German teachers at school taking the cunt?
