Industry and technology (stamp series)

First day sheet 14/1979 of July 12, 1979
with the values ​​150 and 180 Pf

Industrie und Technik was a German definitive stamp series that appeared from 1975 to 1982 and was in use until around 1988. The stamps were published by the Deutsche Bundespost and Deutsche Bundespost Berlin . The only difference between the Berlin values ​​was the word “Berlin”; Color and value were the same. The publication dates of the Federal German and the associated Berlin editions were also the same. The Berlin stamps were valid until December 31, 1991, the German issues until June 30, 2002.

The series consisted of single-color sheet stamps and comprised 23 values ​​with 21 different motifs. The stamps were printed exclusively in sheets of 100 stamps on white fluorescent postage stamp paper in intaglio printing at the Bundesdruckerei Berlin. The stamps printed in portrait orientation had a single size of 23 × 27.32 mm.

After the end of the term of office of Federal President Gustav Heinemann and his successor's waiver of the right to display in a permanent series, which all other successors had previously joined, the Heinemann series was replaced from 1975 by the permanent series "Industry and Technology" . With their large number of values ​​- in addition to the value of 5 Pfennig, there were from 10 Pfennig to 200 Pfennig, with the exception of the values ​​of 90 and 170 Pfennig, every possible value in 10-Pfennig increments - and their large circulation of almost 21 billion pieces at the Deutsche Bundespost and an additional almost 1 billion Berlin stamps, the permanent series achieved a very high distribution. From 1986 onwards it was gradually replaced by the series Women in German History .

particularities

• The stamps of the first value classes appear on two types of paper, which specialized collectors differentiate on the basis of their fluorescence properties.
• Increase in postage on January 1, 1979:
  • The series was supplemented for the first time by increasing the postage. For standard letters (previously 50 Pf) a 60 Pf value was issued on November 16, 1978. For parcels (previously 200 Pf) a value of 230 Pf was issued on May 17, 1979. The values ​​for 150 and 180 pfennigs followed on July 12, 1979.
  • The output of a 90 Pf value was expected in 1979, but this did not happen. The Michel numbers Bund 991 and Berlin 583 were kept free and were never reassigned in order not to have to change all subsequent numbers. On the other hand, a 90 Pf value was issued in the Castles and Palaces series on January 11, 1979.
• Postage increase as of July 1, 1982:
  • The values ​​of 110, 130 and 300 Pf, published on June 16, 1982, are ideas of Beat Knoblauch, who was already fatally injured at the time, the drawing was then developed by Reinhold Gerstetter  (110), Hans-Joachim Fuchs  (130) and Egon Falz  (300) , all graphic artists from the Bundesdruckerei.
  • No further drafts were available for the two values ​​last issued on July 15, 1982. Therefore, the motifs of the 150 Pf postage stamp (backhoe) and the 230 Pf postage stamp (airport) were used again for the new values ​​190 and 250 Pf in a different color.
