Famous people
From 1967 to 1972, the GDR's Deutsche Post issued a series of postage stamps under the name Famous Personalities , which were printed using the elaborate intaglio printing process . The individual issues each contained a value in a significantly reduced edition (so-called blocking value ). Personalities from German-speaking countries whose birth or death anniversaries were honored were shown. As its successor, the series of stamps Important Personalities was launched in 1973 and continued until the end of the GDR in 1990 .
The Lipsia catalog of the GDR does not subdivide and connects both series as important personalities . Here the description of the Michel catalog was chosen.
