Key Fact
Description
This is a green postage stamp from the Deutsche Demokratische Republik (East Germany) issued in 1950. It features a depiction of Neptune with a trident, seated amidst foliage, with a modern building complex in the background. The stamp has a denomination of 10 and is inscribed with "Berlin Rathausstraße" on the left side and "DEUTSCHE DEMOKRATISCHE REPUBLIK" at the bottom.
History
Issued during the early years of the German Democratic Republic, this stamp commemorates the Rathausstraße area in Berlin. The imagery likely reflects a desire to showcase both historical grandeur (represented by Neptune) and modern development, a common theme in post-war propaganda aimed at nation-building and establishing a distinct East German identity.
Facts
The Rathausstraße in Berlin is historically significant, featuring the Rotes Rathaus (Red City Hall). Stamps like this served not only as a means of postage but also as miniature emissaries of national identity and ideology, promoting specific narratives to both domestic and international audiences during the Cold War era.
Value Fact
This stamp, cataloged as Michel 170, is a common collectible from East Germany. Its market value is generally modest, typically ranging from $0.25 to $1.00 depending on its condition and whether it has been postally used. Demand is steady among topical collectors and those specializing in German philately.
