Stamps add a decorative touch to our post, are reflections of their times, and can even be used to make a donation to charity. The German Finance Ministry issues around 50 of these little works of art every year. Here is an overview of all special stamps from 2010 to today.

German stamps can be used to do a good deed since 1949. Every year, the German Finance Ministry issues special “plus stamps” which cost a little extra in addition to the postage fee. The extra charge goes to charity. These “plus stamps” now generate around €10 million for a good cause every year.
