On 9 November 1995, the Christmas stamps will be issued in favor of the Free Welfare. The recipient of the contract proceeds is the Federal Association of Free Welfare e.V., Bonn. The motifs of this year's Christmas stamps show Mary's Annunciation and Nativity after glass paintings (glass windows) from the High Cathedral in Augsburg. The Marienfenster of the Augsburger Domes, created around 1485 and created by a Strasbourg workshop under the influence of the great glass painter Peter Hemmel von Andlau, expresses the incarnation of God at Christmas as well as the perfection of man in God. The Marienfenster is located in the outer northern aisle of the cathedral longhouse and designated until the regotization of the cathedral in the second half of the 19th century, the eastern entrance to the cathedral cloister. This spiritual pilgrimage was opened and marked by this Marian window in its salvation-historical meaning, because the adjacent glass pictures of the Annunciation to Mary and the birth of Christ are exaggerated in the upper area with the Coronation of Mary by the Holy Trinity. (Text: Werner Schnell, Art Director of the Diocese of Augsburg)
