75 years of Art Nouveau in Germany (block number 14)

Christmas (block number 15)

The 1977 stamp year of the Deutsche Bundespost comprised 35 special stamps , four of which were only available as a stamp block. This year the first eight definitive stamps of the new series of castles and palaces were issued.

For the first time in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Federal Post Office, a person who is not the Federal President was honored with a postage stamp during his lifetime , it was the first honorary citizen of Europe , Jean Monnet .

All postage stamps issued since January 1, 1969 had unlimited postage validity and there was no expiration date as in previous years. With the introduction of the euro as a common European currency on January 1, 2002, this regulation became obsolete. However, the stamps of this year could be used until June 30, 2002. An exchange was possible until September 30th in the branches of the Deutsche Post , after that until June 30th, 2003 centrally in the Philately branch of Deutsche Post AG in Frankfurt.
