The postage stamps issued by the Deutsche Bundespost in 1991 comprised 84 special stamps , five of these stamps were only available in the form of a total of four stamp blocks. The definitive series Women in German History and Sights were continued this year with four and six stamps respectively.

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.

particularities

A good year after reunification, from September 1, 1991, every household in the new federal states received a free gift booklet with 10 stamps with the portrait of Therese Giehse (first edition: November 10, 1988). The little gift booklet was labeled "Stamps for You"; beneath it was a kind of gift ribbon with a bow printed in black, red and gold, followed by the five national coats of arms. The stamps were taken from normal counter sheets, in the format 5 horizontally × 2 vertically, and appeared with the left or right edge of the sheet (sometimes also with sheet serial number). A total of 10 million gift booklets were produced; the remainder was later sold at the post office counters and via the shipping point at a nominal value of DM 10.00. This distribution campaign was intended to relieve the citizens in the new federal states, as it had been shown that the postage-related continuation of the German division (for example, the postage for standard letters in the old federal states was 1 DM, in the new federal states 50 pfennigs) led to massive abuse which was forbidden; however, this ban could not be enforced. Therefore, the postage rates were raised to the usual level in the old federal states much earlier than planned.

Another peculiarity is the amount of issued stamps, which was neither before nor after. A small part can be traced back to the different postage rates in the old and the new federal states. In addition, it must be taken into account that the omission of our own Berlin stamp issues means that the surcharge stamps “for youth”, “for sport”, “for welfare” and the “Christmas stamps” were issued as an all-German issue in the number of stamps originally planned for “Bund” and “Berlin” (e.g. eight youth stamps instead of two issues of four stamps each). The greater proportion of the unusually high number of special stamps, however, was due to the fact that the GDR had made commitments to issue stamps on certain occasions, which were to be kept even after reunification; however, the planning of the “old” Federal Republic should not be restricted, or at least not significantly restricted.
