history
At the Deutsche Reichspost , post offices (PSt) were differentiated in internal service traffic with the suffix I and II. They used the postal and telecommunications services in small towns. PSt II Stadt existed in larger towns.
PSt I
Post Offices I were subordinate to an accounting post office (AbrPA). In general, they had the same acceptance powers as post offices - they were given stocks of postage stamps , disability insurance stamps and forms according to their needs and the set of rules. PSt I settled monthly with the AbrPA. The “Service Instructions for ZwPÄ M and PSt I” applied to service processing and cash management. The owners carried the official designation Posthalter (PH). They were "secondary officials on revocation".
PSt II country
PSt II Land were set up in places on land power post lines and power post lines , occasionally on railway lines, and assigned to a routing post office. Certain service hours were not set. However, the PSt II had to be open for a reasonable time before and after the arrival of the post. If they were supplied by an LPA, PSt II had the name of their main post office as the official designation next to their name with the preceding addition “about” (for example “Aach / about Oberstaufen”). The remaining PSt II received a different addition, which indicated their location. The PSt II settled daily with the LPA. The PSt II issued stamps and forms. They were responsible for accepting all kinds of items, orders for newspapers, emptying mailboxes, dispatching the mail items delivered, delivering the items received at the location and in the country delivery area assigned to the PSt, handing items over to collectors, raising bill protests, and paying out of pensions, the collection of radio fees, the acceptance of telephone charges , the recording and delivery of telegrams , the operation of the public speaking booth and the settlement of the amounts collected for the post office box. PSt II Land also accepted applications for participation in the postal savings bank service and deposits and made repayments. They had rubber stamps with their official designation, which, however, could not be used to cancel postage stamps. To obtain stamps they received an (iron) cash advance from the LPA. The "Service Instructions for PSt II Land" applied to the handling of duties. As a rule, the postman had to do the service himself. He could, however, be represented under his own responsibility by suitable persons who were approved by LPA as representatives.
PSt II city
PSt II City were mainly set up in purely residential areas whose mail traffic did not justify the establishment of a branch post office or a PSt I. There was PSt II City with full or limited acceptance rights. The PSt II City with full acceptance rights issued stamps and forms of the most common types, as well as postal savings cards; They accepted ordinary and registered letters and parcels, including express letters , return receipts and cash on delivery , as well as ordinary domestic parcels and postal items, unsealed parcels and postal items, postal orders and payment cards. If necessary, they took care of the acceptance and repayment of deposits in the postal savings bank service. PSt II City with limited acceptance rights are limited to the delivery of stamps and forms of the most common types, as well as postal savings cards and the acceptance of normal and registered letters and parcels, including express letters, return receipts and cash on delivery. If there was a need and the premises allowed, normal domestic parcels and mail could be accepted, but bulk mail could not be accepted. The PSt II Stadt had an iron inventory of stamps and other notes at their disposal. Registered items, parcels and mail were to be affixed to the PSt with number slips bearing the name of the PSt as the place of delivery. PSt II city did not have a day stamp .
