Framed Print of Blue 75 Pfennig postage stamp, dated 1947
Blue 75 Pfennig postage stamp, dated 1947, showing officials collecting stall charges, Leipzig Trade Fair, Leipzig, East Germany The Leipzig Trade Fair (Leipziger Messe) was a major fair for trade across medieval Central Europe. After World War 2 it lay within East Germany, but continued as an important trade fair for Comecon countries and an important meeting place for businessmen and politicians from both sides of the Iron Curtain. A Leipzig Fair is first mentioned in 1165. In 1190 Otto the Rich, Margrave of Saxony, instigated two trade fairs - a Jubilate fair at Easter and a second at Michaelmas. Frederick 2nd of Saxony founded a third fair on the first of January. In 1507 Emperor Maximilian 1 gave an imperial charter to the Leipzig Fairs, banning any fairs within a 15 mile radius of the city. The first post-war Peace Fair was held in May 1946. The Allied Armies of Occupation produced a series of stamps (graphics by Gruner) to commemorate the fair. This 75 Pfennig stamp, showing traders paying for the use of a trading stall in 1365, was issued 2 September 1947. The Allied controlled Deutsche Post ran from 1945 to 1949.
