Schwarze Einser

Die erste Briefmarke Deutschlands, ausgegeben 1849

The "Schwarze Einser," meaning "Black One," was the first postage stamp of the Kingdom of Bavaria, issued on November 1, 1849. It features a large numeral "1" to indicate its value of one kreuzer, and it was printed in black on a white background. This stamp is notable for being one of the earliest postage stamps issued in Germany, reflecting the growing trend of postage stamps across Europe following the introduction of the Penny Black in Britain.
