German Berlin Wall
About German Berlin Wall
Stamps issued by East and West Germany reflecting the division of the country. East German stamps celebrated the wall as an anti fascist protection barrier. West German stamps condemned it as a wall of shame. The competing narratives demonstrate how stamps serve as instruments of state propaganda. German division stamps are collected as Cold War artifacts. After reunification in 1990, the German postal system was unified and division era stamps were demonetized.
