The motif of this stamp shows the courtyard of the monastery Bebenhausen near Tübingen. The building was built in 1183/84 by the Cistercians. From 1535 it was also used as a Protestant state school before it passed in 1806 in the state property. In order to protect the complex she was placed in 1975 under ensemble protection. Today, the monastery is a popular tourist destination; especially the Dormitorium, the summer refectory and the well and choir house are very well preserved and worth seeing. The catalog numbers 16, 17, 20, 21, 25, 26 and 27 were published in July and August 1948 respectively. For the sake of systematics, the editorial board records the first day of each month as the first day of issue.
