Maxicard Old Town Hall, Leipzig

 

Yt:DD 231

Stamp: Germany – Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR) – Commemorative series “Recovered Historic Buildings – Old Town Hall, Leipzig”, 15 Pf, violet, depicting the Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall), a landmark Renaissance building in the historical centre of Leipzig. (Issue: 14.11.1955)

Postmark: Germany – Commemorative illustrated postmark “LEIPZIG – LEIPZIGER MESSE” – 08.03.1956. Special cancellation showing a stylised representation of the Old Town Hall of Leipzig, corresponding precisely to the architectural subject depicted on the stamp and on the postcard. The presence of the illustration identifies it clearly as a commemorative or special postmark, not a standard circular date stamp.

Postcard: Monochrome photographic illustration depicting the Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall) in Leipzig, presented in a frontal panoramic view that emphasises the length of the Renaissance façade, the arcaded ground floor and the central tower with its characteristic cupola. The image reflects the documentary architectural style typical of mid‑20th‑century German publishers. (Edition: Graphokopie)

Concordance:

Thematic: The thematic concordance is outstanding, as the stamp depicts the Old Town Hall of Leipzig, the postcard presents a photographic view of the same building, and the commemorative illustrated postmark features the identical architectural subject. Together, these three elements align perfectly around the same landmark, forming a triple concordance fully compliant with maximaphily standards.

Geographic: All elements — stamp, commemorative illustrated postmark and postcard illustration — are directly linked to Leipzig, the exact locality represented. The “LEIPZIG – LEIPZIGER MESSE” special cancellation reinforces geographic authenticity, entirely in accordance with FIP maximaphily criteria.

Temporal: The postmark date (08.03.1956) falls well within the valid postal usage period of the 1955 issue, ensuring proper temporal concordance for a maximum card produced with a commemorative stamp circulating over multiple years.

With its first Five-Year Plan, which provided detailed numerical goals for all sectors of the economy and labor for the years 1951-1955, the GDR aligned itself with the Soviet rhythm of the planned economy. At its core was the massive expansion of heavy industry. Industrial production overall was to be nearly doubled, while agricultural production would be boosted by 25 percent. This was to be made possible through stepped-up efforts to provide training to the necessary skilled personnel and through technical progress in manufacturing.

Mit ihrem ersten Fünfjahresplan, der für die Jahre 1951-1955 für das gesamte Wirtschafts- und Arbeitsleben detailliert in Zahlen gefasste Ziele vorgibt, passt die DDR sich an den sowjetischen Rhythmus der Planwirtschaft an. Im Mittelpunkt steht der massive Ausbau der Schwerindustrie. Die Industrieproduktion insgesamt soll fast verdoppelt, die landwirtschaftliche Produktion um 25 Prozent gesteigert werden. Vermehrte Qualifizierungsanstrengungen für das notwendige Fachpersonal und technische Fortschritte in der Produktion sollen dies möglich machen.

Com o seu primeiro Plano 5 anos, que forneceu metas numéricas detalhadas para todos os setores da economia e da mão-de-obra para os anos de 1951 a 1955, a RDA alinhou-se ao ritmo soviético da economia planeada. A essência estava a expansão massiva da indústria pesada. A produção industrial em geral deveria ser quase duplicada, enquanto a produção agrícola seria aumentada em 25%. Isso deveria ser possível através de esforços intensificados para fornecer treinamento para o pessoal qualificado necessário e através do progresso técnico na manufatura.
