On October 9, the 47th welfare stamp series will be released in favor of the Free Welfare. The recipient of the proceeds from the sale of these special stamps is the Federal Working Group of the Free Welfare Care Association, in which the Arbeiterwohlfahrt, the Diakonische Werk of the EKD, the German Caritas Association, the German Paritätische Wohlfahrtsverband, the German Red Cross and the Central Welfare Office of the Jews in Germany have united , These organizations help wherever government aid is not enough. The charity stamp series of regional farmhouses from Germany, which started in 1995, will be continued this year with five more editions. The "Valepagenhof" from 1577, built today in the Westfälisches Freilichtmuseum Detmold, dates from the vicinity of Delbrück in the Paderborn district. It is considered the most beautiful farm in Westphalia because of its representative renaissance facade, which is oriented towards townhouses. The style of contemporary townhouses makes the lower compartments closed with wooden balustrades carved with semicircular fan rosettes. In addition to the depiction of the Risen Christ, there are grotesque mythical creatures in the gable of the house and, as a special feature, the motive of a rabbit hounded by dogs.
