First you have a striker, not a hammer; that said you should not be able to set the striker to fire with the safety on. The sear bar has to be able to move out to allow the striker to catch on the sear bar.
The relieved safety allows the pistol to be unloaded with an already set(since we can't type c....ked)striker.
I believe that Don explained it well earlier. Some Lugers have a relieved safety which allows these functions with the safety on. Not all Lugers have this feature.
