The issue of the stamp block wants to bring closer the recent history of the Federal Republic of Germany. It concludes the series entitled "Basic Thoughts of Democracy", which began in 1981 with the three special stamps "Rule of Law," "Separation of Powers," "People's Sovereignty," the stamp block "Federal President of the Federal Republic of Germany," as well as the Federal Government, Länder, and Local Authorities in the Federal Republic of Germany. , "Equal Rights of Men and Women" and "30 Years of the Bundeswehr". The history of the Federal Republic of Germany is the history of the resurgent parliamentary democracy. The stamp block "Important Buildings in the History of the Federal Republic of Germany" makes that clear. These stamps with representations of the Reichstag, the Museum Alexander Koenig and the Bundeshaus should inspire thinking about history. With the election to the 1st German Bundestag in the year 1949 the parliamentary democracy was formed. The Bundestag found the site of his work in the former Pedagogical Academy. This building, which dates back to 1930 and still defines the image of the Bundestag today, is based on the style of the Bauhaus founded in the Weimar Republic. The workplace of the German Bundestag thus builds on a cultural legacy of the first German democracy. The accommodation in this building should be a provisional. A house was deliberately chosen that was not a representative building. Its simplicity does not express power, but objectivity - that is how the people's representatives should serve the citizens. The citizens have also accepted this idea. The German Bundestag has been open to them since its inception, and more than eight million visitors have since gained an immediate impression of the work of the Bundestag. Stamps reflect contemporary history. This series of important buildings in the history of the Federal Republic can help to raise the awareness of the citizens of our state that they live in a liberal parliamentary democracy that has grown and is supported by the consent of the citizens.
