This semi-postal stamp was issued by West Berlin (Deutsche Bundespost Berlin) in 1983 to support sports development through the “Für den Sport” charity series. The design commemorates the 1983 Ice Hockey World Championship, depicting dynamic hockey players rendered in a motion-blur artistic style that captures speed and action on the ice. The denomination 120+60 Pfennig includes a surcharge used to fund sporting activities and youth sports programs. Its modern graphic design makes it a distinctive issue among sports-themed German stamps of the 1980s. A notable collectible for enthusiasts of sports philately, Olympic and hockey themes, and West Berlin semi-postals.
