Addendum to neighboring local traffic

Neighboring local traffic is a term used by the German postal administrations that extended the reduced fee for mail in inner-city traffic to certain neighboring towns.

Not only contiguous post offices but also post offices which, without being structurally connected, were so close to each other and were in such close economic relationships that they could be viewed as a unified traffic district, should be allowed for neighboring local traffic.

The area of ​​application of the local tax was extended to the neighboring local traffic due to the "Regulations on the postal system". The postal regulations of 1900 regulated this:

Reduced fees are set for letters , postcards , printed matter , business papers and samples in local and neighboring traffic (Section 37). [Implementing provisions (AB): unfranked "postage-paid official items" only simple rate. In neighboring local traffic, postage and toll exemption is the same as in long-distance traffic.]

This regulation was restricted to letters on July 1, 1906. On October 1, 1908, the post-protest was inserted. For the return of the protested bill of exchange and the protest certificate, 30 pfennigs were charged, but 25 pfennigs were charged for local and neighboring traffic.

With the collection of the Reich tax on August 1, 1916, there was no longer 10 pfennigs for unstamped letters in local and neighboring traffic (such a letter now costs 5 pfennigs + 2½ pfennigs tax), but double the fee or the shortfall rounded off as a postage fee for a sum divisible by 5 pfennigs.

The postal regulations of October 1917 raised the reduced fee for local and neighboring traffic for postcards, printed matter, etc. The reduced fee for local and neighboring traffic was abolished on May 6, 1920, only reintroduced for local traffic on April 1, 1921.

In the internal traffic of Bavaria , the fees for local and neighboring local traffic were regulated by the postal regulations for the Kingdom of Bavaria of March 27, 1900 and corresponded to that of the Reich postal area, i.e. allowing the reduced tariff in neighboring local traffic , taking into account the circumstances in individual cases. What was to be understood as a neighboring place in the sense of the postal regulations was published in the official gazette.

In internal traffic in Württemberg , since April 1, 1900, the neighboring local traffic comprised traffic between post offices that were up to 10 km apart.

After the Second World War, local postage in the Federal Republic of Germany was invalid from March 1, 1963, from this point in time until October 2, 1990, there was only reduced postage for letters and postcards within West Berlin . In the GDR, the reduced postage for postcards in local traffic was abolished from October 1, 1954, the reduced postage was retained until the monetary, economic and social union on July 1, 1990, after which there was a transition period in the eastern traffic area to March 31, 1991 a special rate.
