Private Postal System in Germany Long Ago
The first stamps in the area now Germany came from the Thurn and Taxis family, who ran a 300 year old private post. Their system served the Netherlands through Germany and Austria to Italy, declined during a Dutch war, and later attempted revival. In 1851 they joined the Austro German Postal union and issued stamps, while other German states ran their own preunion systems.
