The stamp shows one of
the most famous letters of German philately - the Eichstaett (Oaktown) letter.
Discovered in
"Black ones"
are very rare.
The Ten sheets of this
edition has a "security perforation" between each pair of a horizontal pair
in the form of an oak leaf. This means, that there are 2
types of stamps - one with the "hole" right, one left - as shown.
There are brands , such Spezialstanzung on the left or the right face.
In addition there is a
nice postal stationery with the same stamp printed thereof, also with the
"hole" for no reason. At left is a painting "Der Posthof
1850" (mail court) by Pius A.F.Messerschmitt

The stamp design by
Ursula Lautenschlager pictures four issues of the
postal district of the North German Confederation. The confederation was
established in 1867 following the Second Schleswig War of 1864 pitting Prussia
against Denmark, and the 1866 Austro-Prussian War.
King Wilhelm I and Prussian minister president
Otto von Bismarck created the confederation dominated by Prussia, unifying the
22 German states north of the Main River.
Postal laws for the confederation went into
effect on Jan. 1, 1868, but because a unified currency had
not been established, typo-graphed stamps using three different
currencies were issued.
The northern district
used the thaler for currency, with 30 groschen equaling 1 thaler. Six
stamps denominated ¼gr, ⅓gr, ½gr, 1gr, 2gr and 5gr were issued. The
text-only design reads “Norddeutscher Postbezirk” (North German Postal District) inside a round
double ring (Scott 1-6).
The southern district used the gulden, with 60 kreuzer equaling 1 gulden. Stamps denominated 1kr, 2kr,
3kr, 7kr and 18kr were issued for the southern district (Scott 7-11). The “Norddeutscher Postbezirk”
inscription on these stamps appears within an oval.
The four classic issues shown on the new German
Stamp Day stamp are the 1gr rose at upper left, 7kr ultramarine at upper right,
1kr green at lower left, and ½gr orange at lower right. Not shown on the new
stamp is an example of the third currency variety, a single non
denominated (½-schilling) lilac brown stamp issued in 1868 for use in
Hamburg (Scott 12).
The rouletted stamps
for all three regions are also known imperforate. Perforated varieties were
issued in 1869, and Official stamps for government use appeared in 1870.
The southern German states of Baden, Bavaria,
Hesse and Wurttemberg joined with the North German Confederation as France
declared war on Prussia. With the French defeat in 1871, the German Empire was
declared by Bismarck in Versailles, with Wilhelm I as kaiser
(emperor).

Shortly
after the fall of the Third Reich, the Bizone, or the
Allied Military Government (AMG) of the United States and Great Britain, was
established. This zone issued the following series of stamps for civilian use
in the occupation areas of West Germany that were under its control.
There
were three different printings of these 1945 stamps. The earlier printings were
the Washington and London Printings (March - September). The later printing was
the Brunswick (Germany) Printing (August - December).
The
military governments of the Soviet and French occupation zones issued their own
postage stamps during 1945.

Lou wrote: The Germany
October 6 new issues for Stamp Day are strangely designed. The stamp and
souvenir sheet show the famous and rare1851 Baden color paper error, where the
9 k value was printed on green paper instead of the
correct pink. It is assumed the printer had the 9 k plate upside down in
hand, misread it for a 6 and so printed it on a sheet
of the green paper used for that value. Whatever quality control there was then
did not catch it, and in fact, the error remained undiscovered for 44
years until found by a stamp collector!
On the new issues, the designer has the green
error stamp inverted so that the large numeral appears as a 6, and in the margin of the souvenir sheet an example
of the correct 9 k on pink paper is reversed so that it also appears as a 6,
and the inscription is also inverted. Very odd, but possibly to show how
the error could have happened.
I also think that the addition of the bar code,
now showing up on more and more stamps and needed for modern electronic mail
processing, hurts the artistry of the stamp. Maybe they can create an
invisible to the eye bar code only "seen" by the sorter--like the
tagged stamps we had for years.
Martin Hirschbühl wrote: IMHO
this SoS-sheet is also a "Fehldruck"
(printing error) because in fact it WAS a 9 KREUZER stamp, printed on the wrong
paper (green instead of rose) but NOT an inverted 9, as this sheet suggests. its Euro-value of "85" below sets the wrong
standard, but it should have been displayed as seen on image n° 2 (read Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baden_9_Kreuzer_error)
It is said, there are only 3 existing left....I am quite unsure, if this one might be cancelled with
the numeral postmark "41" for Ettenheim?
Lou wrote: The stamp is
indeed a paper color error, but it is also an invert. It was
originally thought that a plate of 9k stamps was incorrectly printed on
the colored paper of the 6k stamp, but the obvious scarcity of the errors
shows that a single 9k cliche was added to a 6k plate.
In order for the printer to not see he had
accidentally inserted a 9k cliche into
the 6k plate, he would have had to put it in upside down. Two covers
exist with the error mailed at the 6k rate, but both have the
attached stamps right side up, so that the numeral reads as a 9 (this
matches your image No. 2), yet, it took 44 years for a German stamp
collector to recognize there was an error stamp on the covers!
According to the Williams brothers' "Rare
Stamps", published in 1967, one of these covers is in the German
Communications Museum in Berlin (see reproduction bellow), so it is interesting
that the 2022 s/s does not show a stamp from that, but one from a
privately owned cover that sold in a Heinrich Koehler auction in 2019 for about
$1,173,000!.
Martin, to my eye, the
addressing/handwriting on the two covers is very similar. how do they read and look to you?
The stamp is indeed faintly
cancelled with the #41 concentric circles postmark of Ettenheim.

future of stamp design then I just say "good night".
Lou wrote: The QR codes
have been around for some time now, and yes, they seem to be getting
bigger, and take away from the artistry of the stamp. They seem to be
important to the posts in their processing of the mails, so perhaps the
design of the stamp is secondary to them. In many cases, the code can
also contain info about the stamp. Have any of you put your camera phone
to one and read what it said? Back in 2012, the $5 Hong Kong stamp had a
QR code that opened to a page about the 150th anniversary of Hong Kong stamps,
but is gone now.
One nice thing about stamp collecting is that
you can collect what you like, so if these added codes annoy you, don't buy them. However, I think that you,
and other collectors, should advise the posts of your
unhappiness with the prominence of the codes.

replied: Here’s what Google translate says of the
text: Halves are among the great treasures of the philately of the old German
states. Since the sender of the letter did not have a suitable stamp at
hand, he cut the stamp by hand before sticking it on the letter. This was
intended to achieve tariff-based franking of 3 large
silver coins for a letter to Loth at a distance of more than 20 miles.
