The stamp shows the most important teacher of Protestant schools in Austria during the Reformation age, namely the famous mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler, the creator of modern astrology. Famed in astronomy by the discovery of the three Kepler's laws, he worked - born in the city of Württemberg on December 27, 1751 and died in Regensburg on November 15, 1630 - from 1593 to 1598 at the Protestant Estates School in Graz and from 1612 to 1626 at the landscaping school in Linz, which was set up by the Protestant estates of Upper Austria. From the days of Luther, the church and the school are in a close, almost indissoluble relationship. According to the Protestant understanding, the Bible as the Word of God is the foundation of Christian faith and life. That's why Dr. Martin Luther turned the Bible to German, so he turned to the nobility and the city magistrates with the admonition to set up schools where adolescent youth should learn languages and the art of reading and the translated Bible for faith and life to be able to use.
