On October 11, 1019, a sacred building, today known as the "Heinrichs-Münster", was consecrated in Basel. In addition to numerous bishops, there was also the founder of this church, Emperor Heinrich II present. A special stamp dedicated to this 1000th anniversary is dedicated to Henry II. The basis for this was a photograph of his statue on the main portal of today's cathedral from the 13th century. On the left is the building donated by Heinrich. This is a reconstruction based on the results of current building research. From Heinrichs-Münster itself, only a few bright stone parts can still be seen on the Georgsturm above ground. In the background of the stamp is a drawing. It shows the towers of the western facade of today's Minster, as they were rebuilt after the earthquake of 1356 in the Gothic style. The miniature sheet is decorated with plain tiles, as can be seen on the cathedral roof. The diamond pattern is considered typical of medieval roofs.
