Issued by the Deutsche Demokratische Republik (East Germany) in 1962, this six-stamp set commemorates the 10th European Swimming Championships held in Leipzig. The clean, modernist design captures the athletic dynamism of aquatic sports including swimming, diving, and water polo. Each stamp—ranging from 5 pf to 70 pf—features a stylized depiction of competitors in motion, rendered in bold cyan with contrasting typography. The 20 pf + 10 pf semi-postal value also supported sports development, reflecting the DDR’s emphasis on athletic excellence.
