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 Berlin Pankow can be found in the shopping mall Rathaus-Center in the centre of this north Berlin quarter. The address for
postmark requests is: Breite Straße 20, 13187 Berlin Pankow, Germany. Opening
hours: Mo-Fr 9.30-18.30 h., Sat 9.30-14.00 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. The priority label was put there by the Philatelie-Shop.
Inside the envelope there was a nice surprise. The Philatelie-Shop
official had put in two cards. One with the message that this shop also uses a
pictorial postmark and one with an impression of that postmark and the
datestamp. Of course I sent another envelope to Berlin to get the second
postmark as well. Now this is what I call service.
