This charming trio of semi-postal stamps issued by Deutsche Bundespost and Deutsche Bundespost Berlin between 1967 and 1969 celebrates native European animals as part of the annual Für die Jugend (“For the Youth”) series. The 1967 issue features a lively Hamster against a red field, the 1968 Berlin issue depicts a sturdy Beaver (Biber), and the 1969 stamp portrays a graceful White Horse (Vollblut) in motion. Each stamp includes a surcharge for youth welfare, combining bold modernist artwork with a spirit of conservation and social support—hallmarks of Germany’s philatelic design in the late 1960s.
