The second natural monument in the series is the ‘Lange Anna’, also a freestanding sandstone rock and the rust-coloured landmark of Heligoland. Otherwise, however, the ‘Sights’ series clearly focuses on architectural works of art and sculptures, a focus that generally characterises West Berlin’s postage stamp series – the ‘Berlin Buildings’, the ‘Berlin Cityscapes’, the “German Buildings from Twelve Centuries”, the “Brandenburg Gate”, the “Castles and Palaces” and finally the “Sights” of the years 1987–1990.
The fascination of the Berlin postage stamp series is taken into account in the now available Germany Compact 2025; for the first time, they are presented in a postage stamp overview analogous to that of the FRG, summarised in words and pictures according to the novelty catalogues. The same applies to the postage stamp series of the GDR, such as the seven-year ‘Five-Year Plan’ series or the postage stamp issues for the reconstruction of the GDR. The postage stamp overview of the FRG has been supplemented with numerous images.
The most noticeable price movements, however, are in the collecting areas of Old Germany, the Weimar Republic, the plebiscite areas, the Sudetenland, the occupied areas in the Second World War, local issues from 1945, some early issues and complete years of the GDR, the French zone, as well as youth stamps and numerous years of the FRG.
