This 60 Pfennig commemorative stamp was issued by Deutsche Bundespost in 1980 to mark the 1200th anniversary of the city and bishopric of Osnabrück. The design features a stylized architectural collage of Osnabrück’s most iconic buildings, including the St. Peter’s Cathedral and historic townhouses that reflect the city’s medieval charm and religious heritage. The clean linework and subdued brown and cream tones evoke a sense of history and continuity, fitting for one of Germany’s oldest episcopal cities. The vertical inscription reads “1200 Jahre Stadt und Bistum Osnabrück” (“1200 years of city and diocese of Osnabrück”).
