The stamp shows the famous German poet Friedrich Hölderlin. He was born on March 20, 1770 in Lauffen am Neckar. Hölderlin dealt with the ideology of the French Revolution and Greek antiquity. These themes, as well as the beauty, went into his works. From about 1802 he was incurably mentally ill until he died on June 7, 1843 in Tübingen. Among his most important works include, among others, "Hyperion", from the years 1797-99, and "The Death of Empedocles", 1798-1800. The catalog numbers 1 to 3, 5 to 7, 10, 12 and 13 appeared in August and September 1947 or in January and February 1948. For the sake of systematics, the editorial board records the first day of each month as the first day of issue.
