German Provisional Meter Stamps, Berlin

Germany · 1948 · Various Pfennig denominations (12-216 Pfg)

A collection of German provisional meter stamps from October 1948, each featuring 'DEUTSCHE POST' and 'BERLIN' alongside a specific date and Pfennig denomination. The design is functional, consisting of text and numerical values within a rectangular or circular frame.

These provisional meter stamps were used in Berlin shortly after World War II, reflecting the complex postal situation and currency changes in post-war Germany. They represent a period of transition and the re-establishment of postal services under challenging circumstances.
