Issued in 1989 by Deutsche Bundespost, this 100 Pfennig commemorative stamp honors Paul Schneider (1897–1939), a Protestant pastor known as the “Preacher of Buchenwald.” Schneider was imprisoned and ultimately executed for his outspoken opposition to the Nazi regime and unwavering Christian faith. The monochrome portrait design captures his solemn dignity, symbolizing moral courage and resistance under oppression. The inscription notes his martyrdom at Buchenwald concentration camp on 18 July 1939. A poignant issue paying tribute to religious and moral steadfastness in dark times.
