German Democratic Republic (GDR) Postage Stamps

German Democratic Republic · 1900 ·

This is a general category for postage stamps issued by the German Democratic Republic (GDR), commonly known as East Germany. The stamps from this period cover a wide range of subjects, including political figures, historical events, industry, culture, and sports, often reflecting the socialist state's ideology.

The German Democratic Republic existed from 1949 to 1990, during which it issued its own distinct postage stamps. These stamps are a philatelic record of the Cold War era from the perspective of the Eastern Bloc.
