The next stamp shows David Bowie on the occasion of his 75th birthday. A good reason for a stamp, right? I do not really know much about Bowie's oeuvre, but in January I watched the 1986 film Labyrinth and liked it very much.
Another birthday is honoured on this stamp, the 200th birthday of Heinrich Schliemann, the man best known for discovering Troy.
After three men also a woman's birthday was honoured with a stamp, the 225th birthday of Annette von Droste-Hülshoff. She was a famous German authoress.
The cover looks a bit damaged, because it was used to ship this little book: a Reclam version of Droste-Hülshoff's Die Judenbuche with stamp and postmark affixed on the front side. A unique item maybe.
On the same day arrived also these two prepaid covers issued on the same day as the stamps. They are about two 20th anniversaries, the death anniversary of Astrid Lindgren and the introduction of the Euro.
