The list of unissued postage stamps from Germany contains the postage stamps of the Deutsche Post under Allied control , the Deutsche Post of the GDR , the Deutsche Bundespost and their successor Deutsche Post AG , which were intended to be issued, but for the most varied of reasons (more details in the column " Note “) have not appeared. No such cases are known from the Deutsche Bundespost Berlin .

Unfortunately, it is not possible to depict the unissued stamp. Since these stamps were not officially issued, the Michel catalog numbers these postage stamps with Roman numerals.
