Common Postal Rates in Germany 1918-1923
by Jerry Jensen
This small rate book is for the general German collector. It does not contain the more exotic rates that are seldom seen but long sought by the specialist. Most collectors will acquire the more common letter usages during this period. Rather than digging through page after page of postal rates to locate the proper rate, you will frod the more frequently used ones here.
For those who wish to go further, there are two books that cover the rates of the period in more detail. One, in German, was published by the INFLA-Berlin study group in 1976. The other, in English, was published by the GPS Inflation Study Group in 1991. They are:
Oechsner, Helmut, Die Tarife fur Brief-und Paketpost yom 1.7.1906 his 31. 12.l923, Infla-Berlin Verein der Deutschlandsammler e.v., Nuremberg, FRG, 1976.(Number 12 in their series)
Manchester, Diana (editor), The Postal Rates of Gennany 1906-1923, Inflation Study Group of the Germany Philatelic Society, 1991.
One must ~ judgement in collecting both used stamps and covers from this period. Any canceled stamp, worth more than a dollar or two should have it's postal use expertized. The collector can and should expect that over
90% of the loose, unexpertized canceled stamps seen today have forged cancels. Covers are usually less of a problem but even here, any cover worth an appreciable amount should be expertized.
Covers with a minor over franking are acceptable. For most periods in Germany's postal history, the normal acceptable over franking is only 2-3 %. During the inflation period, the collector must judge if the extra postage makes sense. Perhaps the proper stamp values were not available, perhaps the sender was just confused by the constantly changing rates.
There were two notable situations that took place during the time period. On November 26, 1923 all stamps were valid at four times their face value for postage. This continued until the last day of the month. A major currency reform occurred on December 1. The old inflation period stamps could be used for postage, at the converslon rate of 50 Milliarden Marks equaling 5 new Pfennigs until December 31, 1923. The old stamps were also used for official mailings by government offices through early 1924.
The appearance of -- - in a rate ·colunm indicates that the specific rate was either not in use at that time or is currently not known.
