The stamp shows Castle Lichtenstein south of Reutlingen on the eaves of the Swabian Alb. Built in 1840/41, the building stands on the site of a medieval castle, which was the seat of the Duke from about 1390 to 1567. It was demolished in 1802 and replaced by a forest castle in its place. The later owner, Duke Wilhelm von Urach, was so impressed by Wilhelm Hauff's novel "Lichtenstein", dating from 1826, that he ordered the conversion of the small castle into a medieval-looking castle. 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.
