GERMANY — 300 Different Stamps:
A Deep Survey of German Postal History
Across Eras, Governments,
and a Nation Divided and Reunited

Three hundred stamps is enough to feel the full sweep of German history in your hands. This packet draws from across the catalog — Imperial Germany, the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, the long postwar division between East and West, and the reunified Federal Republic that emerged in 1990. Few countries offer a philatelic record this varied, this historically layered, or this visually diverse. German stamp design across the eras ranges from stark and utilitarian to richly engraved and genuinely beautiful.

Every packet is assembled differently, but here are some of the stamps and topics you may come across:

Stamps from every major German era. Imperial Reichspost issues, Weimar-era definitives, Third Reich commemoratives, DDR and Bundespost issues, and stamps of the reunified Federal Republic can all appear in a packet this size. Together they map the political transformations of a century.
The hyperinflation issues. Among the most historically striking stamps in any German collection are the early 1920s high-denomination numerals — printed in values of thousands, then millions of marks as the Weimar economy collapsed. They're remarkable documents of an era that shaped the rest of the century.
East Germany's DDR catalog. East German stamps have a character all their own — bold designs, socialist imagery, portraits of state-approved figures, and surprisingly rich coverage of art and architecture. A 300-stamp packet is likely to include a solid cross-section.
Cultural and artistic subjects. Both East and West Germany issued stamps honoring painters, writers, composers, architects, and scientists. Nefertiti, Bauhaus design, and other art and archaeology subjects appeared regularly on German stamps — the catalog reflects a country deeply aware of its cultural inheritance.
Architecture and landmarks. From the reconstruction of Dresden's Zwinger palace to Berlin's civic landmarks and West German churches and civic buildings, architectural stamps appear throughout the German catalog and across every era.

What's inside will vary, but here's a sample of what the catalog has to offer — order today and see what you get.
