Oliver Dietmann, 46, put the vegetable in his lover Rica Varna’s mouth after using it to pleasure her and then went off for a cigarette as she lay there.
But he didn’t realise she was unable to breathe, and when he came back she was unconscious.
Dietmann, a married father of one, claimed the two of them often brought vegetables into the bedroom, including carrots.
Dietmann said he met Rica in 2004, and their relationship turned sexual five years later.
On the day of her death, his wife and daughter were away. He and Rica shared four bottles of wine and several glasses of schnapps.
But Dietmann said he was distracted after putting the cucumber in her mouth because he smelled something burning and remembered he had been cooking meat for the dog.
‘I ran to the kitchen, fed my dog and then went on to the balcony to smoke a cigarette,’ he said.
But when he returned it was too late.
Doctors told the court the vegetable had got wedged in her throat, blocking her air and dropping her into a coma.
Prosecutor Reinhard Hoffmann told the court he should have realised that she was at risk and should not have left her alone for so long.
He said it was clearly a mistake to leave her in this state, but it was a tragic accident.
He was convicted of negligent homicide at the court in the south-western German city of Mannheim.
As well as a 20-month suspended sentence, he was also ordered to pay 6,000 Euro (12 million Naira) fine.
