The idea of ​​introducing a Stamp Day was propagated as early as 1933 by the then President of the Association of German Philatelic Associations, Major von Rudolphi, and enthusiastically received by the individual regional associations, which included Austria. It was the Association of Austrian Philatelistenvereine that carried out this first "Stamp Day" for December 1, 1935. This was the first "Stamp Day" in the world, as the week of the stamp carried out in America in November 1935 did not produce the desired result due to insufficient preparation. The Stamp for the Philatelic Holiday of 1983 shows a child looking at a stamped envelope and the signet of the Jugendphilatelie. In doing so, it places an important function of the stamp for the young generation in the foreground. Because for them the stamp is more than just a collector's item. The expressiveness that lies behind the small works of art, it is the young people a ramble through history in all its forms allowed. This makes the stamp an important educational element. Among other things, the chosen brand motif of this special postage stamp should increase this awareness among educators and guardians.
