Remarks

1. ↑ There were few exceptions, however; the definitive stamp series German Buildings from Twelve Centuries , the Brandenburg Gate and the special stamps in honor of the 1968 Summer Olympics in the city of Mexico were valid without restriction. These stamps were issued before 1969.
2. ↑ In the same year the German Democratic Republic issued two special stamps on the same topic.
3. ↑ There is a very rare slightly different version that was only released for the press in October 1969 to promote this brand. This edition can be recognized by a small rubber stamp pattern on the lower edge. See also: List of unissued stamps from Germany
4. ↑ The last stamp in this series; In 1970, a new series of definitive stamps began to be issued with a portrait of Gustav Heinemann .
