Issued in 1976 by Deutsche Bundespost Berlin, these two definitive stamps from the Berlin Landmarks series beautifully depict historic and natural icons of the city.
The 40 Pfennig stamp shows the Zitadelle Spandau, one of Europe’s best-preserved Renaissance fortresses, while the 50 Pfennig issue features Tiergarten, Berlin’s famed urban park with the Victory Column (Siegessäule) rising in the background.
Rendered in delicate line engraving, these stamps combine architectural heritage with tranquil scenery—hallmarks of the Berlin definitives of the 1970s.
Designed to promote local pride, the series remains a collector favorite for its fine craftsmanship and historical value.
