This 30 Pfennig stamp from Berlin, issued by the Deutsche Bundespost Berlin, features a left-facing engraved portrait of Theodor Heuss, the first President of the Federal Republic of Germany (1949–1959). Designed in a minimalist line-engraved style by Max Bittrof, the series was first released in the early 1950s and became one of the definitive issues symbolizing post-war West Germany’s recovery and identity. The bright red hue and clean typography represent the classic Heuss definitive design used across multiple denominations.
