This file is most likely NOT in the public domain. It has been marked for review, and will be deleted in due course if the review does not find it to be in the public domain.

This file was previously considered to be in the public domain as a German stamp; it is possible that it is in the public domain for other reasons, in which case a new rationale will be applied as part of the review process. See below for the previous rationale.
Previous public domain rationale, no longer applicable
Public domain This image is in the public domain because it was released by the copyright holder Deutsche Reichspost (before: 1945).

Diese Briefmarke wurde von der Deutschen Reichspost herausgegeben. Nach 1945 / 1949 wurden die Deutsche Post der DDR und die Deutsche Bundespost gemeinsame Rechtsnachfolgerinnen. Seit 3. Oktober 1990 ist nur noch die Deutsche Bundespost bzw. die Deutsche Post World Net AG Rechtsnachfolgerin. Die Briefmarken sind daher ebenfalls nach § 5 Abs. 1 UrhG ein amtliches Werk. Nach dem deutschen Urhebergesetz ist dies somit gemeinfrei.
