This 30-Pfennig “Stadt Berlin” issue was released in the immediate post-war period, symbolizing the city’s struggle and hope for renewal. The stamp depicts a young oak tree supported by a stake, rising from the ruins of bomb-damaged buildings—an iconic allegory of Berlin’s rebirth. Printed in olive-green, it belongs to the first local Berlin issues produced under Allied occupation. Known for its strong symbolism and historical importance, this stamp remains highly collectible among post-WWII and German reconstruction-era specialists. Its simple yet powerful engraving makes it a standout in any Berlin collection.
