Historical mailboxes With the illustrations of historical mailboxes, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the German Democratic Republic publishes four multicolored special postage stamps, one after the other, and in co-printing. Special postage stamps from February 5 to April 4 Historical letterboxes The forerunners of the mailbox are from the period around 1600 traditional postmarks that served the seafaring merchants, as at the Cape of Good Hope and St. Helena, as a letter tray. In order to make the mailbox even easier without compromising security, they then went over to the metal-cast iron connection and freed him from unnecessary accessories. The 50-pfennig value shows a tin letterbox that was in use until the second decade of our century. From this model the way leads over further simplifications to today's form.
