Three German Stamps, Including Wilhelm Hauff (1977) and Clemens Brentano (1978) - A 1977 German stamp, denomination ”40,” from the DEUTSCHE BUNDESPOST, features a multicolored illustrative portrait of Wilhelm Hauff (1802–1827) sitting at a desk writing. This stamp commemorates the 150th anniversary of Wilhelm Hauff's death, corresponding to Michel No. 954. Accompanying it are two identical German stamps, issued in 1978, denomination ”30,” also from the DEUTSCHE BUNDESPOST. These stamps feature a dark blue silhouette of a bust in profile, integrated with butterfly wings, on a green background with a brown border. They are marked ”Clemens Brentano” and ”CLEMENS BRENTANO * 8.9.1778,” likely commemorating his year of birth.
