Thanks for the addition, I will add the missing ones to my list later.

edit: I have updated my list with the ones you mentioned. It would have been helpful to only list the ones that weren’t mentioned before though :wink:

edit 2: I turned my post into a wiki, so everybody may contribute to it. So all German Unesco stamps can be in the same posting. But please stick to the format. @ch_nz Maybe you want to include the the parts I excluded on purpose (German stamps showing international sites and controversial ones like Nofrete bust) with pictures of the stamps.
