This video is about 70 Ultra rare and most expensive postage stamps of German Empire. The history of postage stamps in Germany is tightly linked to its political history. With the Holy Roman Empire division, many of the German states were issuing their own stamps. In 1849, Bavaria was the first state to issue its own postage stamps. The other states that began to create their personal stamps included the Grand Duchies of Baden, Hessen and Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Oldenburg, the three free Hanse cities of Bremen, Hamburg and Lubeck, the Kingdoms of Hannover, the three free Hanse cities of Bremen, Hamburg, and Lubeck, Saxony, Prussia, and Wurttemberg. In 1868, the northern German states joined the North German Confederation, and their postal services became a part of the North German Postal District. Bavaria and Wurttemberg, however, continued to issue stamps until 1920.
