This 1961 Berlin issue commemorates the first session of the 3rd German Bundestag, featuring the Federal Republic’s powerful national motto “Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit” (“Unity, Justice and Freedom”). The design showcases the golden Federal Eagle, symbol of West Germany’s sovereignty during the Cold War period. Printed by Deutsche Bundespost Berlin in crisp typography and bold red denomination, this stamp is a popular historical piece representing the rebuilding of democratic institutions. A desirable issue for collectors of Berlin, post-war Germany, political history, and emblematic national symbols.
