This 10 Pfennig stamp from the German Democratic Republic (Deutsche Demokratische Republik) was issued in 1953 as part of the definitive “Workers” series. The design portrays two factory workers engaged in mechanical production—symbolizing East Germany’s postwar industrial rebuilding and socialist dedication to labor. The background includes factory structures and machinery, emphasizing the DDR’s focus on engineering and technical advancement during the early years of the socialist state. Printed in green, it is a key value in the “Arbeiter der Industrie” (Industrial Workers) series designed by Ernst Hassebrauk.
