This German definitive stamp, issued in 1948 by the Deutsche Post in the Soviet Occupation Zone, belongs to the well-known Arbeiter (Worker) Series. The design depicts a strong peasant farmer wearing a broad hat, holding a scythe over his shoulder, symbolizing agricultural labor and post-war reconstruction. In the background, a traditional timber-framed farmhouse is shown, reinforcing rural life themes. Printed in blue and inscribed DEUTSCHE POST, this 12 Pfennig value was commonly used for everyday postage during the difficult years of economic recovery after World War II. It remains a historically significant issue, representing both resilience and the divided German postal system of the late 1940s.
