This enchanting 1965 Wohlfahrtsmarke (Welfare) issue from Berlin celebrates two beloved Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales — Aschenputtel (Cinderella) and Froschkönig (The Frog Prince). Each design, rendered in vivid storybook colors, captures iconic scenes: Cinderella’s doves, the golden dress, the prince’s ball, and the final union; while The Frog Prince sequence shows the princess at the well, sharing her meal, and finally riding off with her transformed prince.
Issued to support welfare causes, these semi-postal stamps combine folklore charm with humanitarian purpose — a perfect highlight for fairy-tale or German welfare collectors.
