Issued in 1988 to celebrate “1000 Jahre Meersburg” (1000 years of Meersburg), this scenic commemorative beautifully depicts the historic Meersburg Castle overlooking Lake Constance (Bodensee). The detailed engraving-style artwork highlights the medieval towers, red-roofed old town, and tranquil sailboats, making it one of Germany’s most attractive architectural landscape issues of the late 1980s. The 60 Pfennig denomination reflects the domestic letter rate of the period. Popular with both topical collectors (castles, towns, architecture, Europe) and Germany specialists, it displays strong color depth and fine line detail. A charming and affordable addition to any classic German commemorative collection.
