Issued by the Deutsche Demokratische Republik (East Germany) in 1963, this 20 pfennig stamp commemorates the Leipzig Spring Fair, a major international trade event. The design features a detailed line drawing of Leipzig’s Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall), serving as a meeting place for foreign visitors (“Ausländertreffpunkt”). The bold red-orange background highlights the building’s Renaissance Revival architecture, flanked by vertical inscriptions marking the fair and the issuing country. This issue is part of a series showcasing important Leipzig landmarks connected to the fair.
