Return To Catalogue - Germany railway stamps, part 1 - Germany Overview
Note: on my website many of the
pictures can not be seen! They are of course present in the catalogue;
contact me if you want to purchase it.
Many railway stamps exist in Germany. I will present the ones I have seen here, others exist. The book by F.Jünke 'Die deutschen Eisenbahnmarken' has a lot of information concerning these stamps. According to this book, the first railway stamps appeared in 1876 and the last ones towards 1945. The first railway stamps were issued by the Hessische Ludwigs Eisenbahn Gesellschaft.
