[News] Baron Munchhausen Stamp from Germany

The next German childhood hero stamp will be issued on 7th May. This time it shows Baron Munchhausen. Like usual two First Day Special Postmarks for Bonn and Berlin and a First Day Sheet will be available. For this stamp also an official FDC ("Jubiläumsbrief"), a "Klappkarte" and a 20€ silver coin with additional products will be produced. 


Actually also two special postmarks from Bodenwerder were announced. At first it was said that the events for the postmarks were cancelled, but that the postmarks would still be available from the postmarking centre. Now however the postmarks were also cancelled.

EDIT:
Stempel & Informationen 11/2020 includes the right postmark again. Only the word "Festakt" was removed.

Germany: Sesame Street (2020)


For this stamp issue I created what is probably one of the most precious things in my entire collection: on a Sesame Street card with the US stamps of 2019 and special postmark I also put the German stamp and got a special postmark for that one as well.

Germany: Childhood Heroes (2019)

This is the start of a new stamp series called "Helden der Kindheit" (Childhood Heroes). The first two stamps show Heidi and Pippi Longstocking.

For this issue the German Post issued a set of four Heidi postcards. Two of them I used for the special postmark, the other two I kept blank.
