Germany - Karlsruhe - Philatelie-Shop (datestamp)

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 Karlsruhe can be found in the Postgalerie shopping mall that is housed in the former central post office. The address for postmark requests is: Kaiserstraβe 217, 76133 Karlsruhe, Germany. Opening hours: Mo-Fr 9.30-20.00 h., Sat 9.30-16.00 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.
