Germany - Bremen - Philatelie-Shop

Deutsche Post has established special philately windows in 26 major post offices throughout the country. Each uses a datestamp with the letters 'ps' in it to distinguish it from normal datestamps. The letters ps stand for Philatelie-shop.

The Philatelie-Shop in Bremen can be found in the office building next to Paradeplatz in the city centre. The address for postmark requests is: Domsheide 15, 28195 Bremen, Germany. Opening hours: Mo-Fr 9.00-19.00 h., Sat 9.30-13.30 h.

For the envelope I used the new definitive 90 cent stamp from the flower series, issued on 11 May 2017 that I bought at the Philatelie-Shop in Essen on the first day of issue. When it returned there was a nice letter in the envelope with the message that the old datestamp of the Philatelie-Shop did not exist anymore and was replaced with the one with 'ps' in it. Alternatively they could also send me the pictorial postmark.
