Look for the special postmark!

 

🗓 Special Commemorative Postmark at the 1st Postcard Convention in Berlin

In July 2025, postcard lovers from around the world will gather in Berlin for an extraordinary event: the 1st International Postcard Convention, celebrating 20 years of Postcrossing. Held at the iconic Museum für Kommunikation (Leipziger Strasse 16), the event takes place on 12 and 13 July 2025 from 10 AM to 6 PM both days

📮 Deutsche Post’s Exclusive Event Postmark

Deutsche Post has designed a unique special postmark (Sonderstempel) exclusively for this occasion. Available only at the convention, the design features postcard-themed graphics inspired by Postcrossing, alongside event-specific text and date – a limited-edition item for collectors and attendees to stamp their postcards on-site.

🎟 How to Get the Postmark

• Visit the Deutsche Post stand between 12–13 July, any time between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM.
• Bring your own postcards (or purchase ones onsite).
• Have them stamped with the event-exclusive postmark.
• Receive this unique memento: a one-day-only souvenir postmark for your collection or to send to friends worldwide

💬 Why It Matters

• Limited availability: Designed solely for the duration of the convention.
• Philatelic value: A true collector's item—postmarks for such commemorations are rare and highly sought after
• Celebratory significance: Marks two decades of global postcard exchanges via Postcrossing
