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 Köln can be found in
the shopping centre on the ground floor of the WDR Arkaden, the building of the
Westdeutsche Rundfunk (public broadcaster). The address for postmark requests
is: Breite Straße 6-26, 50667 Köln 1, Germany. Opening hours: Mo-Fr 9.00-19.00
h., Sat 9.00-14.00 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.
