This 25 Pfennig orange stamp originates from the 1946 “Worker” definitive series issued by the Deutsche Post in the Soviet Zone. Overprinted with the bold red inscription “BERLIN”, it marked the creation of a distinct postal administration for the city following the Allied occupation division in 1948. The design depicts a worker sowing seeds, symbolizing Germany’s reconstruction after World War II. Berlin overprints like this one are highly collectible for their political and historical significance, representing the early postal autonomy of West Berlin.
