Issued by the Deutsches Reich in 1926, this beautiful blue semi-postal stamp depicts a kneeling woman planting a young sapling beneath a guiding star — a powerful symbol of hope and renewal in the post-war era. The 6 Mark denomination included a 4 Mark surcharge (“für Alters- und Kinderhilfe”) dedicated to welfare aid for the elderly and children. Designed in a simple yet classical style, the imagery reflects themes of nurturing and rebirth that were central to Germany’s social recovery efforts of the 1920s. A notable issue in the Welfare Fund series, it remains prized among collectors for its elegant composition and historical significance.
